- Cook your burgers on a grill or in a frying pan for 4–5 minutes on each side for medium. Temperature should be 140- 145°F. Remove burgers to a plate, cover with foil, and allow to rest for 10 minutes while you grill the pineapple and buns.
- To serve: place a ring of pineapple on the bottom of the bun, followed by the burger, slaw, extra barbecue sauce, and top of bun.
Prepare the slaw:
