Hawaiian Pig-Out Burgers
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon packed light brown sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons lime juice
- 4 slices pineapple, about 1/2 in. thick, peeled and cored
- 4 slices Spam, about 1/4 in. thick (about 5 oz.)
- 4 slices Maui onion or other sweet onion, about 1/4 in. thick
- 4 Hawaiian sandwich rolls (about 11 oz. total)
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- Homemade or store-bought coleslaw (preferably made with finely shredded red and green cabbage)
- Heat a grill to medium heat (350u0b0 to 450u0b0). In a medium bowl, mix pork, salt, and pepper until just combined (do not overmix). Divide into 4 portions and form into 1/2-in. patties with a slight depression in the center of each to help them cook evenly. Brush burgers with oil.
- Whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, and lime juice in a small bowl to combine. Brush pineapple and Spam slices with soy mixture.
- Grill burgers, pineapple, Spam, and onion, turning once, until burger is cooked through, grill marks form on pineapple and Spam, and onion softens, about 3 minutes for Spam and 7 minutes for other ingredients. Grill rolls, cut side down, until grill marks form, about 2 minutes.
- Spread bottoms of rolls with mayonnaise. Top with burgers, onion, pineapple, and Spam. Spoon a small amount of coleslaw on each and cover with tops of rolls.
