Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

  2. Layer pineapple and peppers on a baking sheet. Drizzle evenly with 1 tablespoon olive oil.

  3. Bake in the preheated oven until browned, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent overbrowning.

  4. Meanwhile heat remaining olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onion until soft, about 5 minutes.

  6. Combine ground pork, seasoned salt, paprika, dill, garlic powder, hot sauce, and red pepper in a large bowl. Blend well using your hands. Shape mixture into 8 patties.

  7. Preheat a gas or charcoal grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.

  8. Grill burgers until browned, 5 to 7 minutes per side. Cook 5 minutes for medium-well, 7 minutes for well done.

  9. Place burgers on buns and garnish with pineapple salsa.
