# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Toss ground chuck and beef ham into your bowl. Add in sambal, teriyaki, garlic, ginger, pepper, and salt. Give everything a crazy good mix. Shape into burgers, then press your thumb or a spoon in the center to make a small dip.
02 -
Drop red onion rings onto a hot grill pan. Let 'em cook, stirring every so often. You'll know they're ready when they're soft, golden, and getting a little sticky.
03 -
Sprinkle brown sugar on pineapple rings. Grill both sides until they're golden-brown and sticky-sweet around the edges.
04 -
Place patties on the grill, set to medium-high. Brush with teriyaki sauce as they cook. Let them grill until they hit your perfect doneness.
05 -
When burger patties are almost done, lay Swiss cheese on top. Give it just a minute for the cheese to melt into gooey perfection.
06 -
Start with Hawaiian rolls, set a patty on each. Pile on some caramelized onions, add grilled pineapple, and pour on extra teriyaki if you feel like it. Go ahead and dig in while it's hot.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Stick those uncooked patties in the fridge for a little while before grilling. Makes 'em stay together way better.
