1 1/3 cups diced pickled jalapenos
1 1/3 cups diced pineapple
1 cup barbecue sauce
22 ounces sliced bacon
4 1/3 pounds ground beef (80 percent lean, 20 percent fat)
Seasoned salt
4 buns
4 tomato slices
4 cups shredded lettuce, split into 4 portions
8 slices provolone

Steps:

Make the angry Hawaiian sauce: Combine pickled jalapenos, pineapple and barbecue sauce in a bowl.
Place bacon in large pot and cover with water. Boil until most of the fat is rendered, about 45 minutes. Drain bacon. Preheat a grill or pan, then form bacon into 4 patties and sear until crispy.
Divide beef into 4 patties. Sprinkle beef patties with seasoned salt and cook over medium-high heat until desired doneness.
Meanwhile, toast buns to desired doneness.
Place one tomato slice on each bun bottom, then top with one portion shredded lettuce. Top beef patties and bacon patties with slices of provolone, then top each cheesed beef patty with a cheesed bacon patty.
Top patties with angry Hawaiian sauce and bun tops, then finish by closing with bun bottoms.
