calypso beef burgers
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground Beef
- 1/4 cup mango chutney
- 2 teaspoons Caribbean jerk seasoning
- 4 fresh or canned pineapple slices, cut 1/2 inch thick
- 4 Kaiser rolls or hamburger buns, split
- 4 slices sharp Cheddar cheese
Directions
Combine Ground Beef, chutney and jerk seasoning in large bowl, mixing lightly but thoroughly. Lightly shape into four 1/2-inch thick patties.
Place patties in center of grid over medium, ash-covered coals; arrange pineapple slices around patties. Grill, covered, 8 to 10 minutes (over medium heat on preheated gas grill, 7 to 9 minutes) until instant-read thermometer inserted horizontally into center registers 160°F, turning occasionally. Grill pineapple, covered, 8 minutes or until heated through. (Gas grilling times remain the same.) About 2 minutes before burgers are done, place rolls, cut sides down, on grid. Grill until lightly toasted. During last minute of grilling, top each burger with cheese.
Place 1 burger and pineapple slice on bottom of each bun. Close sandwiches.
Cook's Tip: Cooking times are for fresh or thoroughly thawed Ground Beef. Color is not a reliable indicator of Ground Beef doneness.
Cook's Tip: If fruit chunks in chutney are large, use kitchen shears to snip them into smaller pieces.
Cook's Tip: If using 95% lean Ground Beef, add 1/4 cup soft bread crumbs and 1 egg white to ingredients in step 1.
