Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

5 strips bacon
1 pound ground beef
1 red onion (diced)
1 green bell pepper (diced)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
3/4 cup ketchup
2 Tablespoons brown sugar
1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke
2 Tablespoons soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce - optional
1 (20 ounce) can pineapple slices (reserve juice)
Salt and pepper, to taste
6 hamburger buns
12 Jalapeno slices - optional topping

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Lay strips of bacon in a single layer on the foil, making sure they don't overlap. Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes (start checking the bacon at 15 minutes because all ovens vary).
  • Remove pan from oven and place bacon slices on a plate lined with paper towels. Crumble bacon and set aside.
  • Pour 2-3 Tablespoons of bacon drippings into a large skillet pan. Heat the pan on a stove top over medium-high heat. Add in ground beef, diced onions, and diced green pepper.
  • Cook for about 4-5 minutes, then add in garlic and ginger. Continue to cook until beef is no longer pink and is fully cooked through. Drain grease.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, liquid smoke, soy sauce, hot sauce, and 1/3 cup pineapple juice reserved from the can of pineapple slices.
  • Bring ground beef mixture and sauce to a simmer, then cover pan with a lid and reduce heat to low. Let ground beef mixture and sauce simmer on low heat for 25-30 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
  • Add in crumbled bacon, salt, and pepper when ground beef is done simmering.
  • Scoop onto a toasted hamburger bun and then top with a pineapple ring and jalapeno slices.
