Pineapple BBQ Burger Recipe

Thank you to my special guest, my husband, Patrick, for making this Pineapple BBQ Burger Recipe.  It's one of his favorites. Grill and beef: what can go wrong?  Nothing. This recipe is so easy to make and can be done in no time.

Pineapples are a great addition to any burger, especially during the summer when they are fresh and easy to get at the grocery store. This burger recipe uses canned pineapple, but you can easily trim the cored slices to get the same delicious sandwich. Happy grilling (affiliate).
