Ingredients

• 3 lbs. ground beef
• 1 tbsp. salt
• 1 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 2 large Roma tomatoes
• 1 tsp olive oil, plus more for grilling
• 1 pineapple, peeled, cored and cut into rings
• 6 slices cheddar cheese
• 3 thick slices deli ham, halved crosswise
• Butter, for the rolls
• 6 Kaiser rolls or burger buns, split
• 1/2 red onion, very thinly sliced
• Lettuce, for topping
• Potato chips, for serving

Directions

1. Heat a grill to medium high. Mix the ground beef in a large bowl with 2 tsp salt and pepper. Form the mixture into 6 equal patties.

2. Halve the tomatoes lengthwise and toss with the olive oil and the remaining 1 tsp salt.

3. Brush the grill grates with olive oil. Place the tomatoes and pineapple slices on the grill and cook until softened and grill marks form, 5-6 minutes per side.

4. Meanwhile, grill the beef patties until marked, 4-5 minutes, then flip and cook 2-3 minutes longer.

5. Top each burger with a slice each of cheddar and ham and cook until the cheese melts, 2-3 minutes longer.

6. Butter the rolls and grill them until golden brown and marked, 1-2 minutes. Chop the grill tomatoes and spread on both sides of each roll. Top with the burgers, a few red onion slices, some lettuce and grilled pineapple, then bring all the craziness together. Serve with chips.
