Instructions

Bake the Wedges
1

Preheat your oven to 200°C. Chop the potatoes into 2cm wide wedges (no need to peel). Pop the wedges onto a large baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer. TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary. When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until golden, 25-35 mins. Turn halfway through.

Make the Burgers
2

Meanwhile, pop the beef mince into a large bowl with half the sriracha and 1/2 tbsp pineapple juice per person. Season with salt for the burgers (see ingredients for amount) and pepper, then mix together with your hands. Roll the mince into even-sized balls, then shape into 1cm thick burgers (1 per person). TIP: The burgers will shrink a little during cooking. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw mince.

Chop Chop
3

Set aside 1 slice of pineapple per person, then drain and roughly chop the rest into 2cm chunks. Cut 1 slice of tomato per person and set aside, then chop the rest into 2cm chunks. Trim the baby gem, reserve 1 leaf per person, then halve the remaining lettuce lengthways and thinly slice widthways.

Salad Time
4

In a large bowl, mix together the cider vinegar, sesame oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Add the chopped pineapple, chopped tomatoes, chopped lettuce and coleslaw mix to the bowl, toss to coat, then set aside. Grate the Cheddar cheese. In another small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise (see ingredients for amount) and remaining sriracha (add less if you don't like too much heat). Set aside.

Cook the Burger
5

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat. When hot, add the pineapple rings and bacon to the pan. Cook until the pineapple is golden and the bacon is cooked through, 2-3 mins each side. Transfer to a plate lined with kitchen paper and cover with foil. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw meat. Cook bacon thoroughly. Keep the pan on high heat, then lay in the burgers. Fry until browned on the outside and cooked through, 12-14 mins in total. Carefully turn them every 3-4 mins and lower the heat if needed. IMPORTANT: The burgers are cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

Finish and Serve
6

When the burgers are cooked, remove the pan from the heat. Carefully place the cheese on top of the burgers. Cover with a lid (or foil), then set aside, off the heat, for 3-4 mins for the cheese to melt. Meanwhile, halve the burger buns and pop into your oven to warm through, 2-3 mins. When everything is ready, spread some sriracha mayo on each bun base, then layer up with the lettuce leaves, tomato slices, crispy bacon, cheesy burger and pineapple slices. Top with the bun lid, then serve with the wedges and alongside. Enjoy!

Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavour: The pineapple and sriracha sauce added a delicious twist, making this burger a standout favourite for many.
  • Ease of prep: While tasty, some found it time-consuming to prepare, with multiple components to cook and assemble.
  • Suggestions: Consider reducing the sesame oil in the salad dressing, as several found it overpowering.
  • Next-day meals: The generous portions meant some had leftovers; others found it filling enough without the potatoes.
  • Texture: For juicier burgers, don't overcook the meat; some found it became dry or tough.
