Recipe FAQs
→ Can I substitute canned pineapple for fresh slices?
Yes, canned pineapple rings work well. Be sure to pat them dry before placing on the beef patties to prevent excess moisture.
→ How can I ensure the bacon gets crisp in the oven?
Arranging the bacon in a criss-cross pattern and baking on a rack helps render fat and crisp the slices. Avoid extra thick-cut bacon for best results.
→ What kind of barbecue sauce is best?
Choose a smoky or sweet barbecue sauce you enjoy. Options like hickory, honey, or spicy blends complement the pineapple and beef flavors nicely.
→ Do I need to flip the burgers during baking?
No flipping is needed. Baking on a rack ensures even heat and lets the bacon render and crisp without turning the patties.
→ What is the safe internal temperature for the burgers?
For food safety, cook to an internal temperature of 160°F, measured with an instant-read thermometer for well-done burgers.
→ Are there any suggested toppings?
Lettuce, sliced cheddar cheese, onions, or mayonnaise make tasty additions to this sweet and savory burger.
