Serves: 4

This is a very simple yet delicious recipe. It's been my favorite since I was a kid. I don't know its origin.

Hamburgers:
1 lb. ground beef
1 can sliced pineapple rings

Sauce:
2 parts ketchup
2 parts brown sugar
1 part mustard

Separate the ground beef into 4 patties (for bigger burgers, separate into 3). Divide each patty into halves. Place a pineapple ring between two patty halves and form back into a burger shape. Cook in a broiler over or on a grill as you would cook a normal hamburger.

Stir the sauce ingredients together. Whatever measurements you use, use the above ratios. Heat.

Serve the hamburgers with the sauce poured over them. Rice works very well with the hamburgers and you can put the sauce on it, too. French cut green beans complete my traditional meal, but you can add whatever else you want.
