Ingredients
- 1 lb. lean ground beef
- 1 lb. lean ground pork
- 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup onions (white or red), finely chopped
- 1 1/2 tbsp. fresh basil, finely chopped tips & tricks
- 1 tsp. smoked paprika
- freshly ground black pepper, to taste (I always use mixed peppercorns)
- 1 1/2 tbsp. finely chopped pineapple PER BURGER
- 1 1/2 slices cooked and crumbled bacon PER BURGER tips & tricks
- 1 1/2 tbsp. your favorite BBQ sauce PER BURGER
- 2 slices Jarlsberg cheese PER BURGER
Directions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine meat, breadcrumbs, onions, basil, smoked paprika and black pepper. Mix with hands until well blended.
- Form 3 patties and stuff burgers in the center with pineapple, bacon and BBQ sauce, spreading evenly.
- Form 3 smaller patties and place them on top of the stuffed ones; seal the edges.
- Place the burgers in a pie plate, cover with cling film and transfer to the fridge for 1 hour.
- Preheat barbecue to 500ºF
- Take burgers out of the fridge and let them rest for 20 minutes before transferring them to the preheated grill. Close the lid and cook for 7 to 7 1/2 minutes per side.
- Three minutes before the end of cooking, add 2 slices of Jarlsberg cheese per burger and close the lid.
Notes
Footnote: We usually make gigantic burgers so we end up with 3 burgers with 2 lbs. of meat. If you make them smaller, you can get 4 burgers from this recipe. Just keep in mind that the measurement for pineapple, bacon and BBQ sauce are based per burger.
