Ingredients:
🍍 Thick slices of fresh pineapple
🥩 1.5 lb ground beef
🧂 1 tsp salt
🧄 1/2 tsp garlic powder
🧅 1/2 tsp onion powder
🌶️ 1/2 tsp coarse black pepper
🌶️ 1/2 tsp chili pepper flakes

Instructions:
- Prepare the Pineapple:
- Cut thick slices of fresh pineapple and remove the core. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
- Prepare the Ground Beef Mixture:
- In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, coarse black pepper, chili pepper flakes, and cornstarch. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the beef.
- Form the Patty:
- Take a portion of the beef mixture and form it around the pineapple slice, ensuring the pineapple is fully covered by the beef. Make sure to add meat where needed to maintain an even patty.
- Add the Cheese:
- Fill the center of the pineapple, where the core was removed, with shredded chihuahua cheese.
- Cook the Patties:
- Use a cooking torch to melt the cheese on the beef patty while it cooks, or alternatively, place under a broiler until the cheese is melted and slightly bubbly.
- Prepare the Vegetables:
- While the patties are cooking, lightly toast slices of red onion and yellow bell pepper until they start to caramelize.
- Assemble the Burger:
- Lightly toast the brioche buns. Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on the bottom bun, then layer with green leaf lettuce, the cooked patty, toasted red onion and bell pepper slices.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately for a fresh, juicy burger experience.
