What you need:
* 1 lb. ground beef
* 1/4 c. mango chutney
* 2 tsp. Caribbean jerk seasoning
* 4 fresh or canned pineapple slices, cut into 1-in. thick
* 4 kaiser rolls or hamburger buns, split
* 4 slices sharp Cheddar cheese
* 1/4 c. mango chutney
* 2 tsp. Caribbean jerk seasoning
* 4 fresh or canned pineapple slices, cut into 1-in. thick
* 4 kaiser rolls or hamburger buns, split
* 4 slices sharp Cheddar cheese
What to do:
1. Combine ground beef, chutney and jerk seasoning in large bowl, mixing lightly but thoroughly. Lightly shape into four 1/2-in. thick patties.
2. Place patties in center of grid over medium, ash-covered coals; arrange pineapple slices around patties. Grill patties, uncovered, 11-13 min. (over medium heat on preheated gas grill, covered, 7-8 min.) until instant-read thermometer inserted horizontally into center registers 160°F, turning occasionally. Grill pineapple, uncovered, 8 min. or until heated through. (Gas grilling times remain the same.) About 2 min. before burgers are done, place rolls, cut sides down, on grid. Grill until lightly toasted. During last minute of grilling, top each burger with cheese.
3. Place 1 burger and pineapple slice on bottom of each bun. Close sandwiches.
* Cook's Tip: Cooking times are for fresh or thoroughly thawed ground beef. Color is not a reliable indicator of ground beef doneness.
* Cook's Tip: If fruit chunks in chutney are large, use kitchen shears to snip them into smaller pieces.
* Cook's Tip: If using 95% lean ground beef, add 1/4 c. soft bread crumbs and 1 egg white to ingredients in step 1.
