Servings: 4

Ingredients

Red onion (4 slices)
Tomato (4 slices)
Lettuce leaves (4)
Hamburger buns (4)
Pineapple slices (4)
Salt and pepper (to taste)
Ground beef (1 pound)
Brown sugar (1/4 cup)
Ketchup (1/2 cup)
Worcestershire sauce (1 tablespoon)
Apple cider vinegar (1 tablespoon)
Mustard (1 tablespoon)

Instructions

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Season the ground beef with salt and pepper and divide into 4 equal portions. Shape each portion into a patty.
Grill the patties for 5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
Grill the pineapple slices for 2 minutes on each side, until they have beautiful grill marks.
While the burgers and pineapples are grilling, make the barbecue sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the brown sugar, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, and mustard. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for about 5 minutes, until the sauce thickens.
Spread a generous amount of barbecue sauce on the bottom halves of the hamburger buns.
Layer a lettuce leaf, a burger patty, a pineapple slice, a tomato slice, and a red onion slice on each bun bottom.
Finish with the top half of the bun and serve while hot.
