Bacon-Wrapped Pineapple Burgers
Makes 4 burgers
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:
2 pounds lean ground beef
1/2 cup prepared barbecue sauce
Kosher salt, to taste
Ground black pepper, to taste
4 canned sliced pineapple rings
8 slices bacon
Hamburger buns (optional)
Hamburger toppings (optional)

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 400°F/200°C. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper and it set aside.

In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef and the barbecue sauce. Shape the beef mixture into 4 patties. Season the patties with salt and pepper.

Place two strips of bacon to make four X’s on the baking sheet. Place a hamburger patty on the center of each X, and a pineapple ring on top of each patty. Wrap the patties in a crisscross fashion by folding up the ends of the strips of bacon. Use a toothpick in the center to help secure the bacon. Repeat with the remaining burgers.


Bake the burgers until the beef patties and bacon are cooked to your liking. For extra-crispy bacon, place the patties under the broiler for 3 to5 minutes after the burgers are done cooking.
