No summer visit to Vermont would be complete without Hawaiian Hamburgers!
My mom has been making these burgers for us for years. And now it's a regular summer menu item at my house, too; because they're amazing.
After eating these, plain old hamburgers are just plain boring.
The honey in this recipe makes the burgers a little sweet, the soy sauce makes them a little salty, and the spices make them...perfection. :)
What makes the burgers Hawaiian, you ask?
That's a good question. I think it's the pineapple ring you're supposed to serve on top.
But we forgot the pineapple this time.
And since I'm not a big fan of fruit in my main course and never add the pineapple to mine anyway, I wasn't disappointed.
Just pass me a big bottle of ketchup, please. :)

Hawaiian Hamburgers
2 lb. ground beef
1/2 cup honey
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. paprika
1/4 tsp. curry powder
1/8 tsp. ginger
1/8 tsp. nutmeg
1/4 cup soy sauce
Mix all ingredients together, then form meat into patties. Grill; then serve topped with lettuce and sliced pineapple. (Or, if you're me...just ketchup. And maybe a few slices of avocado!)
Oh and we always eats these burgers with baked sweet potato fries...generously sprinkled with seasoned salt.
It's tradition. :)
