This Hawaiian Pork Burger is the burger you didn’t know you needed… until now!
Burgers are by far one of the best things to quickly grill up and enjoy out on the patio! 99% of the time, most people are using ground beef which is delicious in it’s own respect.
Now, I would never go as far to imply being tired of beef burgers, but sometimes it’s nice to mix it up. This Hawaiian Pork Burger is by far one of my favorite burgers of all time. Juicy, salty pork, combined with the sweet pineapple and spicy mayo is one bite you’ll never forget.

How to make a Hawaiian Pork Burger
Start by taking 1 pound of freshly ground pork and forming it into 1/3 pound patties. Season each patty with your favorite BBQ rub that tastes great on pork.
Next, slice up one red onion into 1/4 inch thick slices. Then cut the rind off of the pineapple, remove the core and cut it into 1/2 inch thick slices.
