Surprise Burgers

At first I thought the "Surprise Burger" would be too sweet but we really enjoyed it! I would have never thought to sneak a pineapple ring inside the burger. These burgers are messy but tasty.

Here's the recipe - serves 4:

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 pound lean ground beef
• 4 pineapple rings
• 1/2 cup ketchup
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon prepared yellow mustard

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat a grill for high heat.
2. Divide the ground beef into four portions, and form patties around pineapple rings so that none of the pineapple is showing. In a small saucepan, mix together the ketchup, brown sugar, and mustard. Heat until sugar is dissolved. Set aside.
3. Place burgers on the grill, and cook for about 5 minutes per side, or until well done. Spoon some of the brown sugar sauce over the burgers before serving.
