These bacon-infused burgers taste amazing. The bacon is mixed in with the beef for one of the most wonderful tastes. This recipe also pairs well with any topping. We love putting grilled pineapple on our burgers, but my sister loves Swiss cheese and mushrooms on her burgers. These burgers can be completely customizable. They don’t take long to make and taste amazing. I love cooking at home because it’s healthier, cheaper, and grilled to your perfection and preference.

Equipment Needed
For this recipe, you only need a few simple kitchen tools. We recommend using the following equipment:
How to Make Bacon Infused Burgers
- Cook the bacon until slightly chewy, but not crisp.
- Once the bacon has cooled, tear it into small pieces, about the size of a dime. I also like to dab my bacon with a paper towel because it’s a little greasy, and helps the bacon cool faster.
- Mix the bacon bits into the raw ground beef, sometimes it’s best to do this with your hands.
- Form the meat mixture into 6 equal size patties. I usually just try to eyeball it, grab a fistful of meat, and shape it. You may need to take some meat from other patties and reshape them to make them equal sizes.
- Place on grill, griddle, or pan flipping until desired doneness. (I like mine a little pink in the middle).
- Grill your pineapple, and glaze with honey, as cooking, if desired. This topping is totally optional, but we prefer it. Pineapple and meat were just made for each other.
- Once done, create your burger with all your favorite condiments and toppings.
Recipe Notes
- Store leftover hamburgers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up 4 days. Reheat on the grill.
- For toppings, we recommend red onion slice, lettuce, cheddar cheese, mayo, and barbecue sauce.
How to Grill Pineapple
One of my favorite ways to grill pineapple is to first marinade it in a honey and brown sugar marinade. I use about .5 cup honey and .5 cup brown sugar.
- Shake the pineapple slices, honey, and brown sugar in a bag until all the pineapple slices are evenly coated.
- Then soak some wooden skewers in water for a few minutes and slide the marinated pineapple on them.
- Grill them on low on the grill for about 4-5 minutes, flip them and grill for another 4-5.
I will also cook my pineapple in a pan as well. I just cook them on medium low until the edges begin to golden or go slightly black.
