Start by searing your Spam slices in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
-
2
Make sure you sear both sides to get a nice crisp exterior, about four minutes per side.
-
3
Once cooked, set aside.
-
4
Form your ground chuck into a nice patty and make an indention in the center of your patty with your thumb.
-
5
Season both sides generously with salt, and set the patty aside letting the meat come to room temperature.
-
6
Heat up your grill.
-
7
As you might know by now, I am a big fan of charcoal, and do not remember the last time I fired up a gas grill.
-
8
When the coals are nice and not, add the burger.
-
9
You know how you want your burger, so cook it the way you want.
-
10
Im a big believer in a medium cooked burger (which takes about 5 minutes per side), just saying.
-
11
When you flip the burger, add the sliced onion on the top of the burger, then top with the cheese.
-
12
Add the pineapple slice onto the grill over the direct heat; and add the sliced English muffin over indirect heat.
-
13
Cook the pineapple until you have nice grill marks on both sides; cook the English muffin until its heated to your liking.
-
14
When you are ready to make your burger, take the bottom half of the English muffin and top with the two slices of Spam.
-
15
Top with the burger, then add the pineapple ring to the top, adding the top half of the muffin at the end.
-
16
Take a look.
-
17
Its something wonderful.
-
18
Now, take a bite.
-
19

Think of bacon.
-
21
Think of Spam.
-
22
Think of awesome flavor.
-
23
Its all of that.
-
24
You get everything that you would expect from an awesome burger with cheese and onion.
-
25
Then the Spam gives it that slight salty edge and a wonderful flavor.
-
26
Then the pineapple adds this juiciness like you wont believe.
-
27
Oh yeah, and its on an English muffin.
-
28
This burger rocks.
-
29
I am now a convert to Spam.
