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 leaves, 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
  • 3 hamburger buns see Recipe

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 7:30 minutes per side.
  • Three minutes before the end of cooking, add 2 slices of Jarlsberg cheese per burger and hamburger buns; 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.
