Sweet and savory with just a hint of heat, these dynamite burgers are packed with flavor. Pineapple and bacon may sound like an unusual combination, but you'll find they're the perfect match. —Mary E. Relyea, Canastota, New York

I love to cook and try new recipies. We buy beef from a beef farmer, as it extremely lean, I oil the pan for this prime ground meat. These burgers were a mess!! They need to be cooked in a burger basket to be able to turn them for sure. I did oil the grill. They were so mushy, I tried to make a sloppy joe type sandwich out of the heap of meat saved from the grill, and ended up throwing that mess out also. Very dissapointed in this recipe.

Patties did not hold together well and we used 80/20 chuck. However, instead of grill we "grilled" then on a double burner cast iron griddle and very carefully turned them after they had seared and they were great. We had the with Kings hawaiin rolls and left off the jalapenos.

Good recipe. King's Hawaiian Sweet Rolls also make a great bun for the burgers. Although small,, it is close to the White Castle size burger bun and you can make sliders for all your friends (by the bag).

Outstanding!! .... and the pineapple and bacon definitely work together (just think glazed ham with pineapple). In fact, the next time, I think I'll try grilled slices of smoked virginia ham instead of the bacon. Had no trouble finding buns, Martins Whole Wheat Potato buns worked just fine. Slight variations - used 80% ground beef; didn't discard marinade, but instead poured into sauce pan, brought to boil, then simmered for 10 mins, and brushed on burgers during grilling; used apple cider vinegar instead of white; didn't have jalapenos on hand, but there was enough heat with the crushed red pepper flakes (which can be increased/decreased as per personal tastes). Just wonderful, lots of great flavors going on there. Thanks Mary!!!

I made these and they were delicious. I did not have the falling apart problem some other posters did. Did have trouble finding the right size buns so just used regular slider ones and adjusted serving appropriately. They were a big hit.

These were really good. The jalapenos overtook the sandwich but they were good if you tasted them alone.

I made a variation of these tonight. I didn't want the hassle of trying to find mini burger buns or splitting hot dog buns, so I made regular size burgers and served them on sandwich thins. I also replaced the beef with turkey. I found, like some other posters, that the burgers did not hold up that great on the grill, even though the grill was greased. However, mine were not to the point that they were inedible. They were pretty tasty, but I felt like they were in need of a sauce of some sort.

My husband and I were excited to try this recipe, it sounded so good. It ended up being a big disappointment. The burgers did not hold together on the grill, most fell apart into the flames. We were left with some mush on the grill rack, totally inedible. Not up to TOH standards. Perhaps 90% lean was too lean to hold together along with the pineapple.

Not only did I love it, my husband loved it. And then, my picky German mother (who is a gourmet cook) and my picky American father (who is used to my gourmet mother's cooking) tried it and she asked for the recipe. YUM! This is a definite make-again!!

Sounded good but was a truly AWFUL texture and taste. And with the marinade, they stuck to the grill despite oiling it first. We through out the whole lot. Worst thing I've tried in the last 27 years of cooking.

I omitted the vinegar from the marinade b/c I thought it would be too strong. Recipe was great without it though! Loved the pineapple!

I loved this recipe! It was quick, easy and so yummy! I only used 1 lb of beef which made 12 sliders and I omitted the bacon spinach leaves because I just didn't have it on hand.
