Blue Hawaiian Burger

COOK the bacon in a 350°F oven on a sheet pan until crispy, about 10 minutes.
SEASON pineapple in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat with salt, pepper and 4 tablespoons butter, about 5 minutes on each side to brown.
SEASON the beef patties with a small amount of salt and pepper on each side, cook in a large cast iron pan or on the grill until desired temperature is reached.
TOP the beef patties with one ounce of blue cheese, divided, and let cook until cheese is soft.
BUTTER both sides of the bun while beef is cooking and place in a pan over low heat until golden brown and bun is heated through.
ASSEMBLE burger with the roasted pineapple on the bottom bun, top with the beef patty and 3 ounces blue cheese divided, then 2 slices crispy bacon and put about 2 tablespoons of the Thousand Island on the top bun and close the burger. Use a skewer to keep the burger together.
