Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine ground beef, undiluted evaporated milk, chopped onion, cracker crumbs, and seasoned salt; mix well.
- Form the mixture into 6 (4-inch) patties.
- Brown the patties in a skillet in a little fat over medium heat.
- Pour off excess fat from the skillet.
- Cover the hamburgers with sauce (recipe not provided).
- Cover and simmer over low heat for 15 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding garlic powder or Worcestershire sauce to the beef mixture. If you're short on cracker crumbs, crushed cereal or breadcrumbs can work as substitutes. To add moisture, you could replace some of the evaporated milk with a beaten egg. Keep an eye on the patties while browning to prevent burning.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Hawaiian hamburgers on toasted buns with your favorite toppings like pineapple slices, lettuce, or barbecue sauce for a delicious twist. Pair them with coleslaw or sweet potato fries for a complete meal. These burgers also pair beautifully with Hearty Beef-N-Cheese Pie.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover Hawaiian hamburgers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the patties in a skillet over low heat until warmed through, or use the microwave for quick reheating. Avoid reheating multiple times to maintain texture and flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use ground turkey instead of beef?
Yes, you can substitute ground turkey for the beef to make a lighter version of these hamburgers. Just be aware that turkey can be drier, so you might want to add a bit more moisture, such as a drizzle of olive oil or an extra tablespoon of evaporated milk.
What sauce should I use for the hamburgers?
While the recipe doesn't specify a sauce, a tangy barbecue sauce or a teriyaki glaze can complement the flavors beautifully. You can also experiment with homemade sauces like a spicy mayo or a sweet chili sauce for added flavor.
Can I freeze the patties before cooking?
Absolutely! You can freeze the uncooked patties for up to 3 months. Just make sure to separate them with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Thaw them in the refrigerator overnight before cooking for the best results.
