Sweet & Tangy Hawaiian Burgers and Yam Chips

We had a hankering for some good old burgers today. We ended up making a couple of Hawaiian-themed burgers


Ingredients (for 2 burgers):
1/2 lb. 93% lean ground beef
1/2 packet Hawaiian Seasoning (McCormick)
Pineapple rings (keep the juice)
2 King’s Hawaiian Sandwich Rolls
1 yam

Directions for burgers:
1. Mix ground beef, seasoning, and 1 pineapple ring cut into chunks. Let sit for about 10-15 minutes to develop the flavor.
2. Separate the beef into 2 patties and cook on the George Foreman grill until done.
3. Cook the pineapples on a grill pan ~1 minute each side.

3. Lightly grill the Hawaiian bread bun until toasty.
4. Assemble the burger!!!

Directions for yam chips:
5. Wash the yam, quarter it, and cut thin slices.
6. We cooked the yam chips on a griddle because Ian just moved and hasn’t gotten all of the kitchen equipment yet. The griddle worked fine, though, turned up to 400°F. Coat the griddle lightly with olive oil and cook the yams in a single layer.
7. Sprinkle chips with salt, pepper, and oil, and flip when the first side has browned.
8. Brown the other side and they’re ready to eat!
