How to Make Tangy Surprise Burgers

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates.
  2. Gently form 4 patties from the ground beef, slightly larger than the pineapple rings. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  3. Place a pineapple ring on top of each beef patty before grilling.
  4. In a small saucepan, combine the ketchup, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the sauce slightly thickens (about 3-5 minutes).
  5. Grill the burgers for 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked to your desired doneness. During the last 2 minutes of grilling, spoon some of the brown sugar sauce over the burgers.
  6. Lightly toast the Kaiser rolls on the grill for a minute per side.
  7. Place the cooked patties on the bottom halves of the rolls.
  8. Top each burger with 1 heaping tablespoon of coleslaw.
  9. Cover with the top half of the bun and serve immediately. Enjoy the Tangy Surprise!
