Hawaiian Burger with Hawaiian-Style Slaw

By Foodiewife

Using a combination of ground beef and pork, these patties turn out juicy and tender. The patties are seasoned with allspice, ginger with green onions and cilantro. Slather on some Hawaiian barbecue sauce, and set on top of a grilled pineapple slice, you have one delicious gourmet burger. Add some mayonnaise-free Hawaii slaw on top, and you have extra crunch and flavor-- reminiscent of the Hawaiian islands!
