Hula Sliders

By Susan52

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons pineapple preserves
• 1/8 teaspoon plus 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/4 pounds ground beef
• 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 6 slices pepper Jack cheese, each cut into 4 quarters
• 1 (12-count) package Hawaiian bread rolls, toasted

Preparation

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, 1/4 cup pineapple preserves, and 1/8 teaspoon salt. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to use.

Preheat grill to medium-high heat. In a medium bowl, combine ground beef, remaining pineapple preserves, the onion powder, remaining salt, and the black pepper; mix well.

Divide mixture into 12 equal amounts and make 12 patties. Grill patties 4 to 6 minutes, or to desired doneness beyond that, turning them over halfway through grilling.

Place 2 pieces of cheese on each slider about 2 minutes before burgers are finished cooking. When done, place each patty on a toasted roll and top with pineapple mayonnaise sauce.
