Cheesy Stuffed BBQ Pork Burgers
with Charred Pineapple and Sweet Potato Fries
We love burgers for many a reason. Here are our top three: 1) satisfaction factor; 2) ooze effect; 3) major customization capabilities. We’re upping the burger ante here by stuffing pork patties (satisfying) with Monterey Jack (perfectly melty) and topping them with charred pineapple and quick-pickled jalapeño (DIY away!). Sweet potato fries and barbecue sauce join the party to make this dish number one.
Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

Instructions
Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry all produce. Cut sweet potatoes into ½-inch-thick wedges. Drain pineapple over a small bowl, reserving juice. Thinly slice jalapeños into rounds, removing seeds and ribs for less heat.
Toss sweet potatoes on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. Roast in oven, flipping halfway through, until browned and tender, 20-25 minutes. Meanwhile, add jalapeño to bowl with pineapple juice. Let marinate, stirring occasionally, until ready to serve.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add pineapple and cook, tossing, until browned, 3-4 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside. Wipe out pan.
Divide pork into four equal-sized patties, about ½ inch thick. Evenly divide cheese between the center of each patty. Gently fold meat around cheese, shaping and sealing to create four cheese-stuffed patties. Season all over with salt and pepper.
Heat a large drizzle of oil in pan used for pineapple over medium-high heat. Working in batches if necessary, add stuffed patties and cook to desired doneness, 4-6 minutes per side. While patties cook, halve buns. Place on baking sheet with sweet potatoes and toast in oven until browned, 2-3 minutes.
Fill buns with patties, BBQ sauce, pineapple, and as much of the marinated jalapeños as you like (leave jalapeños off for less-adventurous eaters). Divide burgers and sweet potatoes between plates. Serve with remaining BBQ sauce on the side for dipping.
