Based on other reviews, I seasoned the burgers with salt and pepper, but they were still just a big ball of meat, and I just didn't like them at all, I'm sorry. Also, it says it serves 4, but when you read the recipe, it only makes 2 burgers. This was a little confusing, but luckily I had extra mince in the freezer. I did enjoy the sauce though, and I still like the concept of the pineapple inside the burger, I just think it needs a better burger recipe. The kids and I couldn't finish ours, so I was going to rate it a 2, but hubby didn't mind them, so I changed to a 3.

A very simple recipe....but like Sam#3 I thought the burger itself needed a little more attention.<br/>Absolutely loved the sauce...which really couldn't be any easier...completely makes the burger!<br/>Made for PRMR.

Loved the pineapple inside the burgers! Made them very juicy. The burger was kinda bland though. I want to try adding crushed pineapple to the ground beef itself next time.

I have long put grilled pineapple on my burger, so when i saw this I knew I had to try it. OH my gosh, I loved it. Now hubby, who doesn't think pineapple belongs on burgers or pizza snubbed his nose, but good more for me. Thank you for a yummy way to make my burgers. I used ground turkey to keep it healthy.

With my 1 pound of lean ground beef, I made 3 hamburgers, using 6 patties, 1 full pineapple ring inside each of the 3 burgers & served them on large burger buns! VERY, VERY IMPRESSIVE & JUST AS TASTY! Really enjoyed the sauce, which I thinned very slightly with a bit of the pineapple juice! Definitely on my menu again & again this summer!
