"Plan ahead the shaped uncooked burger patties need to marinate for a minimum of 6 hours to blend the flavors before grilling. If possible use fresh pineapple rings for this about 1/2-inch thick or a little larger. If you prefer a little kick then add in a small amount of cayenne pepper --- You can also use half ground pork and beef --- you will LOVE these burgers!"

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMM. Wow these are incredible. I did not have 6 hours to let them marinate but they were still great. I cant wait to try it again and let the meat marinate for the full time. <br/><br/>We added a drizzle of teriaki sauce to the burgers and toasted the buns on the grill.

This meal was unbelievable!!! I followed it exactly and it was the most delicious, juicy hamburger I ever tasted. My husband can't get enough of it. It was also a great meal to make when making up with your honey. I got alot of bonus points with this meal. It also very easy to make.

Oh My God!!!!!! These were so amazing!!!!! We had some friends over for a BBQ on Sunday and I thought I'd try these. I wasn't sure how they would taste so I also made my own home-made burgers. There was 6 of us and I made 8 of each. By the time we were done eating all the Hawaiian burgers were gonna and I still had 7 of mine left. (sort of made me jealous) Thanks Kittencal!!! Your recipes never let me down. Deb
