Spam Burger
- 2 slices 1 1/2 Inches Thick Of Spam
- 1/2 pounds Ground Chuck
- 1 teaspoon Salt To Taste
- 1/4 cups Sliced Onions
- 1 slice American Cheese
- 1 slice 2 Inch Thick Of Fresh Pineapple (peeled And Cored)
- 1 whole Large English Muffin
- Start by searing your Spam slices in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
- Make sure you sear both sides to get a nice crisp exterior, about four minutes per side.
- Once cooked, set aside.
- Form your ground chuck into a nice patty and make an indention in the center of your patty with your thumb.
- Season both sides generously with salt, and set the patty aside letting the meat come to room temperature.
- Heat up your grill.
- As you might know by now, I am a big fan of charcoal, and do not remember the last time I fired up a gas grill.
- When the coals are nice and not, add the burger.
- You know how you want your burger, so cook it the way you want.
- Im a big believer in a medium cooked burger (which takes about 5 minutes per side), just saying.
- When you flip the burger, add the sliced onion on the top of the burger, then top with the cheese.
- Add the pineapple slice onto the grill over the direct heat; and add the sliced English muffin over indirect heat.
- Cook the pineapple until you have nice grill marks on both sides; cook the English muffin until its heated to your liking.
- When you are ready to make your burger, take the bottom half of the English muffin and top with the two slices of Spam.
- Top with the burger, then add the pineapple ring to the top, adding the top half of the muffin at the end.
- Take a look.
- Its something wonderful.
- Now, take a bite.
- Yes, you are about to eat Spam.
- Think of bacon.
- Think of Spam.
- Think of awesome flavor.
- Its all of that.
- You get everything that you would expect from an awesome burger with cheese and onion.
- Then the Spam gives it that slight salty edge and a wonderful flavor.
- Then the pineapple adds this juiciness like you wont believe.
- Oh yeah, and its on an English muffin.
- This burger rocks.
- I am now a convert to Spam.
- Enough said.
