Ingredients You’ll Need

For 4 Pineapple Bacon Burgers, you’ll need:

4 hamburger buns
1 lb (450g) ground beef (80/20 blend recommended)

Salt & pepper to taste
4 pineapple rings (fresh or canned)
4 slices of thick-cut bacon

4 slices of cheddar or American cheese (optional)
½ cup BBQ sauce (your favorite brand)
1 tablespoon olive oil or butter (for pineapple)

Lettuce, red onion, or mayo (optional, for toppings)

Oven-Baked Burger Instructions

1. Preheat Oven

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.

2. Shape the Patties

Form the ground beef into 4 equal patties. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Place them on the baking sheet.

3. Bake the Burgers

Bake patties in the oven for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway through. For well-done burgers, bake an additional 2–3 minutes. During the last 2 minutes, top each patty with a slice of cheese and let it melt.

4. Cook the Bacon

While burgers are baking, cook bacon in a skillet or oven until crispy. Drain on paper towels.

5. Caramelize the Pineapple

In a small skillet, heat a bit of oil or butter and cook the pineapple rings for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden and slightly caramelized.

6. Assemble the Burgers

Toast buns if desired. Spread BBQ sauce on the bottom bun, then layer with lettuce (optional), the cheesy beef patty, a crispy bacon strip, a caramelized pineapple ring, and more BBQ sauce if you like. Top with the other bun half.

Recipe Tips & Customizations

Spice it up with jalapeños or pepper jack cheese.
Make it Hawaiian-style with teriyaki sauce instead of BBQ.

Lighter version: Use ground turkey or chicken patties.
Add texture: Use brioche or pretzel buns for an extra gourmet touch.

What to Serve With Pineapple Bacon Burgers

Storage & Reheating

Fridge: Store leftover patties and toppings separately in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Freezer: Freeze patties for up to 2 months.
