Melted Maui Madness Burger
I love summer grilling, especially burgers. During the summer I tend to eat lighter. Which is why I am addicted to this Melted Maui Madness Burger. The grilled pineapple buns really make this burger unique and appetizing. I used Jarlsberg cheese for this burger. This burger is layered with crispy bacon, fresh lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, and red peppers. When you create this burger Jarlsberg cheese is really going to add a rich bold flavor. This burger is sure to be a hit at any BBQ.
Happy Grilling!
