Aloha Burgers

Serves 4

8-oz. can pineapple slices, drained and juice reserved

3/4 c. teriyaki sauce

1 lb. ground beef

1 T. butter, softened

4 hamburger buns, split

4 slices Swiss cheese

4 slices bacon, crisply cooked

4 leaves lettuce

1 red onion, sliced

Stir together reserved pineapple juice and teriyaki sauce in a small bowl. Place pineapple slices and 3 tablespoons juice mixture into a plastic zipping bag. Turn to coat; set aside. Shape ground beef into 4 patties and spoon remaining juice mixture over top; set aside. Spread butter on buns; set aside. Grill patties over medium-high heat to desired doneness, turning to cook on both sides. Place buns on grill, cut-side down, to toast lightly. Remove pineapple slices from plastic bag; place on grill and heat through until lightly golden, about one minute per side. Serve burgers on buns topped with pineapple, cheese, bacon, lettuce and onion.

Light and fizzy...the perfect drink for a cookout! Combine one cup sugar, 6 cups chilled pineapple juice and one cup lime juice. Stir in 2 liters sparkling water and serve over crushed ice.
