Big Kahuna Burger

Aloha hungry friends! We'd like to note that our Big Kahuna Burger blog is a special edition for the blog since they were made with products from Kaua'i, Hawaii!

Danny and I decided to make Hawaiian burgers while we enjoyed our vacation in beautiful Kaua'i and we made exquisite Kahuna Burgers that were definitely Big! You don't have to be in Hawaii, just wear a hibiscus flower on your hair and prepare yourself to make sweet and most definitely filling burgers! 

Time: approximately 1 hour

makes 8 burgers

Here's what you need:

3 lbs beef

1 orange

1/2 cantaloupe

1/2 pineapple

8 slices of cheddar cheese

8 hamburger buns 

Hawaiian Teriyaki sauce (measurements to your liking)

Let's get started! Start out with the pineapple because it is definitely difficult to peel with a knife and cut through. It takes a lot of muscle so be prepared! We cut over 8 half inch thick slices to have extras in case someone wanted an extra pineapple in their burger. 

Beef time! Start out by forming your patties to your preferred size. We naturally like to keep our patties "beefed up" so ours turned out thick! As they start to cook to your liking, start spreading the Hawaiian teriyaki sauce on the patties. Next, place the cheddar cheese so it slightly melts.

Throw the burger buns on the grill to warm them up and so it gives them a light, crisp, crunch texture to the edges and keeps the inside soft. 

Now it's time to fry the pineapple slices. We spread the Hawaiian teriyaki sauce on the pineapple slices to fry them easier and so it absorbs the sauce sweetly! After those are done frying, add more sauce so that it adds more flavor to the pineapple slices!

Now you can start stacking the Big Kahuna burger! Bottom bun, then fried pineapple slice, patty with cheese, and add a little more teriyaki sauce to add more flavor, then of course the top burger bun!

We added cantaloupe squares and orange slices for sides as well as some crispy fries (optional...well not really, you really should have EVERY burger with fries)!

That's it! You're all done and just made some legit burgers that'll make everyone hungry for more! After you're all done eating you'll be dancing like these two! Mahalo for reading our blog! 

best dancing after eating!
