I love hamburgers! Be it chicken, beef, pork, fish, veggie or soy! I have atleast 50 different hamburger recipes. (Maybe more.) But today, I'm only sharing my family's favorite hamburger recipe, which I hope you enjoy as much as we do.
Almost every burger recipe that I have tasted has atleast one "secret" ingredient to increase it's "WOW" factor, and my recipe is no exception. What is my "secret" ingredient? Pineapple! (I guess it's no longer a secret!) You can use canned pineapple slices or fresh pineapple. But if you use fresh, be sure to remove the core.
These burgers taste great grilled, but if you don't have a grill, you can brown the patties on a griddle or skillet. (I would love one of those skillets that leaves the grill marks!)

Ingredients:
- 3/4 pound ground beef
- 3/4 pound ground pork
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
- 1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Manchego Cheese, sliced (Cheddar works well with this recipe)
- 1 can sliced pineapple, drained
- Burger buns
- Mexican Crema or Mayonnaise
- Ketchup
- Mustard
- Lettuce
- Tomato, sliced
- Red Onion, sliced
- Canned Jalapeño Peppers
Directions:
In large bowl, mix together the ground beef, ground pork, chopped red onion, salts and black pepper until well combined.
Divide into 8 equal portions and shape into patties. Grill or brown the patties until desired doneness. Top each patty with a slice of Manchego cheese; remove patties to a serving plate.
Grill or brown the pineapple slices in the same skillet that you used for the patties. Let brown until the pineapple is a nice caramel color.
With Love,
