Instructions

Step 1: Mix ingredients for piña colada sauce. Set aside.

Step 2: Mix ground beef with 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce. Form into 8 patties. Press the centers of the patties down so that the burgers don't get too thick in the middle when you grill them. Season each side with salt and pepper.

Step 3: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 4: Grill patties until the internal temperature reaches 125 °F for rare, 135 °F for medium-rare, 145 °F for medium, and 160 °F for well-done. Flip patties halfway through cook time. In the last few minutes of cooking, add a slice of cheese to the patties and let the cheese melt.

Step 5: Meanwhile, grill the pineapple, brushing with a little melted butter until grill marks appear, about 2 minutes on each side. Remove to a plate and cut out the core.

Step 6: Grill buns until grill marks appear.

Assembly: Bottom bun, piña colada sauce, patty, pineapple, bacon, teriyaki sauce, more piña colada sauce on top bun.
