Sweet Hawaiian Cheesy BBQ Sloppy Joes

These are SO good! It technically started off as a burger, but it was too messy so we tried turning it into sloppy joes. Easier to eat (although still messy!), but just as delicious! It is definitely a regular supper item in our household. The name is really long...but the food is so good, it is worth the long name!




 The recipe makes around 8 sloppy joes, depending on how much filling you use.


INGREDIENTS
1.5 lbs ground beef
2 cloves minced garlic
1/2 yellow onion, minced
1/4 cup shredded Colby Jack cheese
Honey BBQ sauce (I use between 1/2 to 3/4 of a bottle total)
Can of pineapple tidbits or crushed pineapple, drained (but save some juice!)
8 slices cooked bacon
1/2 lb sliced cheddar cheese
Kings Hawaiian Original hamburger buns
french-fried onions

DIRECTIONS:
Brown the ground beef and onion in large skillet. Drain fat.
Add in the garlic, Colby Jack, BBQ sauce (amount depends how saucy you want it), and some pineapple juice (I don't measure, but I would say a couple Tablespoons worth). Mix well and let simmer.

Split the buns and put them face up on a baking sheet. Put a slice or 2 of cheddar cheese on the top halves. Broil for a couple of minutes, until cheese is melted.

Put meat mixture on bottom half of bun, followed by crushed pineapple, french-fried onions, and a slice of bacon (we use 1 slice broken into 2 pieces). Add a little extra BBQ sauce if desired. Enjoy!
