This recipe for Cabbage and Pineapple Slaw Burgers will quickly become a backyard BBQ favorite.

How do you feel about Coleslaw? I personally have never been a fan. I had never made it at home before and when eating out I always preferred a nice side salad over that tiny cup of slaw. Honestly, I was a little nervous when I was asked by MIRACLE WHIP to make this Cabbage & Pineapple Slaw Burger and share the recipe with you.

I have to tell you this burger is amazing! And I am not just saying that because this is a sponsored post. It truly is delicious. The Coleslaw and the burger is a fabulous combination of flavors and is so good. The slaw has a hint of spice from the Sriracha sauce and a hint of sweet from the crushed pineapple, and the burger is so moist and juicy. Delish!

But seriously, don’t take my word for it. You need to make this slaw burger for yourself. In fact, do you know what you’re going to BBQ on July 4th? Well, now you do! Trust me, you will not disappoint.

Here is what you will need to make 8 burgers:

• 2 lb. lean ground beef
• 2 tsp. garlic powder
• 3/4 cup MIRACLE WHIP Dressing
• 1 pkg. ( 14 oz.) cabbage slaw blend
• 1 can (8 oz.) crushed pineapple, (drained)
• 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
• 2 tsp Sriracha sauce (hot chili sauce)
• 8 hamburger buns

Heat grill to medium heat.

Mix meat, garlic powder and 1/4 cup dressing just until blended; shape into 8 (1/2-inch-thick) patties. Grill 5 to 6 min. on each side or until done (160ºF).

Combine remaining dressing with all remaining ingredients except buns.

Fill buns with burgers and coleslaw.

I actually made the slaw first.

The recipe calls for thinly sliced onions, but I just threw them in my Ninja food processor and chopped it up.

Add all ingredients into a large mixing bowl.

Stir until well combined. At first, I was thinking I was going to need more MIRACLE WHIP, but the more I stirred the more coated everything became, and it was perfect.

Mix the seasonings into the ground beef, make ¼ pound patties and throw them on the BBQ grill.

Yumm! Man, I love a good BBQ! Cook the burgers for several minutes on each side until cooked through.  The recipe calls says to cook the burger until 160 degrees, but I like my burgers with just a touch of pink in the middle.

Assemble your burger however you would like. I tried it naked first, with no cheese, ketchup, or mustard, and it didn’t need it at all. The burger was nice and moist and the slaw added that perfect flavor.

Nom Nom Nom

So good!
