Hawaiian Belly Buster Burgers

By: Steve

"These burgers are among my family's top choices of gourmet burgers that I've concocted. A rich barbecue flavor followed by a sweet aftertaste makes for one flavorful burger. Use a Hawaiian-style thick barbecue sauce if possible. If your sauce is thin, use less in the burger mix so the burgers hold together when grilling."

Original Recipe Yield 8 servings

Ingredients

3 pounds ground beef
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 yellow onion, minced
1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 1/4 cups barbeque sauce
8 slices bacon
1 pound Cheddar cheese, sliced
1/4 cup butter
8 Kaiser rolls, split
8 pineapple slices
1 (6 ounce) can French-fried onions

Directions

In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, garlic, onions, Monterey Jack cheese, and the barbecue sauce. Form ground beef mixture into 8 patties.
Wrap a slice of uncooked bacon around each patty, covering as much of the patty as possible. Place patties on a large platter, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 45 minutes.
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil grate.
Grill burgers on one side for 5 to 7 minutes, turn, and top each with a slice of Cheddar cheese. Butter the kaiser rolls, if desired. During the final few minutes of cooking, place the kaiser rolls split side down on the grill along with the pineapple slices.
To assemble your burger, place some French-fried onions on the bottom half of the roll, then a slice of pineapple and a burger; top with the other half of the roll.
