These burgers marinate in sweet teriyaki before hitting the grill, then get stacked with caramelized pineapple rings, melty Swiss, and salty bacon.
The buttery sautéed onions tie everything together.
One bite and you’ll understand why this combination became a classic.
Kitchen Tips
- Don’t skip grilling the pineapple; caramelization adds depth
- Marinate the patties just 5-10 minutes; longer makes the texture mushy
- Toast those buns on the grill for extra flavor and structural integrity
