Aloha burger – juicy cheeseburger topped with grilled pineapple and crispy bacon. Add honey mustard sauce and what you have is an aloha burger recipe that’s almost as good as Jollibee’s!

(Looking to add sides to your barbecue party? Try these grilled shish*to peppers. They’re ready in 10 minutes! Vinegar coleslaw also goes well with all things grilled!)

Are you familiar with Jollibee? Ask any of your Filipino friends and watch their faces brighten up like it’s Christmas LOL. Even Anthony Bourdain got on the Jollibee train.

Jollibee is a popular Filipino burger chain but it’s more like a rite of passage for every Filipino child – at one point in your life your parents will bring you to Jollibee where you will get your first taste of the glorious Yum Burger and Jolly Spaghetti, which you will end up loving for the rest of your life.

Over the years they’ve come up with delicious innovations (Jolly Hotdog, anyone?) but by far my favourite is the Amazing Aloha. It’s their Champ Burger but made more amazing (see what they did there?) with pineapple and bacon bits on top.

Fourth of July and Canada Day are right around the corner which means it’s BBQ time! So we thought why not re-create the aloha burger recipe? It’s not exactly the Amazing Aloha but it is dang amazing.

Jollibee’s burger patty recipe is a highly guarded secret so we turned to Red’s equally delicious recipe. It’s simple, straightforward and you probably already have all the ingredients sitting in your pantry!

Already got a favourite burger recipe? You can use that too.

Grilled pineapple

Because I think the grilled pineapple is the star of this show. It makes the burger extra juicy and flavourful. And it’s certainly a unique addition to your burger stack.

Worried about the sweetness? Don’t be. You have the crispy bacon to give you the boost of salt you need. And we all know bacon makes everything better.

Put them all together

Take all the components together and what you have is cheeseburger on epic tropical mode.

Juicy burger, melted gooey cheese, grilled pineapple, crispy bacon, honey mustard sauce, and fresh vegetables all packed in between your burger bun. Life is good!

Have a great BBQ weekend!

Fourth of July and Canada Day (hey, we’re turning 150 years old this year!) are big BBQ weekends so if you’re bored of the same old, give this aloha burger recipe a try and make your tastebuds sing.

And if you’re looking to get a taste of a popular hoagie roll sandwich out of New York City’s bodegas, give this chopped cheese from Hilda’s Kitchen Blog a try.

Happy grilling!

Ingredients

For the Burger Patties:

For the Honey Mustard Sauce:

Assembly:

  • Burger buns
  • Sliced pineapples grilled (see notes)
  • Bacon cooked until crispy
  • Sliced cheese pick your favourite, we like Swiss and cheddar
  • Lettuce
  • Tomatoes
  • Mayonnaise optional

Instructions

For the Burger Patties:

  • Warm your grill to high heat, according to manufacturer’s instructions.

  • In a large bowl, mix all ingredients until fully incorporated (see notes). Divide into approximately ¼ pound (113 grams) portions and shape the patties. Place on your hot grill until cooked to your liking.

For the Honey Mustard Sauce:

  • Stir all ingredients together in a small bowl and set aside.

Assembly:

  • Get the bottom half of your burger bun and spread about a teaspoon (or more, up to you) of honey mustard sauce.

  • Then proceed to layer the lettuce, tomatoes, burger patty, cheese (see notes), bacon (1-2 strips, or as many as you want!) and pineapple.

  • Top with the other half of your burger bun. Add mayo if desired.

Notes

  1. To ensure you’ve seasoned your burgers to your taste, before grilling the whole batch take a golf ball size portion, fry then taste. Adjust as necessary.
  2. Total grill time depends on how many burgers you can fit on your grill. For us, a batch of burgers is done in 12-15 minutes.
  3. Start grilling your pineapples when your burgers are close to being done.
  4. We like to put cheese on top of close-to-cooked burgers while they’re still on the grill so they melt on the patties themselves but you can also just place unmelted cheese on top of the burgers as you’re assembling them.

    I absolutely adore grilled pineapple. I’ve never actually topped a burger with it. . .but now I’m wondering why> I bet it tastes absolutely heavenly.

    I’ve never been to Jollibee’s but can see why it’s so popular. This burger looks amazing – I’ve never had pineapple on a burger but that needs to change. This looks incredible!

    Definitely want to try a veggie version of this since I don’t really eat red meat anymore- but I’m all over the grilled pineapples and that yummy sauce!

      I think portobello mushrooms would make a great alternative to beef. Yum! I think I will try a veggie version too 🙂
