"I got this recipe when we lived in Hawaii and making it brings back fond memories! You can easily leave off the bacon or change cheeses as desired."

AMAZING! I wanted a burger with some flair, and DH didn't want anything to 'froo-frooey'. This was perfect!!! The grilled pineapple slices in teriyaki are not overpowering, and the bacon balances this burger perfectly. I definetly suggest the onion bun option.. it adds a great taste with the other ingredients. I opted to make Recipe #83780, worked amazingly well. This was one of the few 'gourmetish' burgers that can be enjoyed by a wide array of people. Fantastic!
