Hula Joes
From goodeat 14 years agoIngredients
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil shopping list
- 1/4 pound smoked ham or bacon, diced shopping list
- 1 1/2 pounds ground pork shopping list
- 1 sweet onion, such as Maui or Vidalia, finely chopped shopping list
- 2 to 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped shopping list
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar shopping list
- 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar shopping list
- 1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce shopping list
- 1 cup tomato sauce shopping list
- 1 cup pineapple, chopped* (the recipe calls for fresh but I used canned tidbits cut in half) shopping list
- salt and ground black pepper shopping list
- 4 kaiser rolls shopping list
- 1 cup shredded yellow cheddar cheese shopping list
How to make it
- Place a large skillet over medium-high heat with one turn of the pan of olive oil, about 1 tablespoon. Cook bacon in the pan until crispy, about 3-4 minutes, and remove it to a small bowl.
- Return the pan with the bacon fat back over the heat, add the ground pork and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 10 minutes. Add the onion and garlic to the pan and cook until soft, about 5-6 minutes.
- While the pork and onions are cooking, in a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, red wine vinegar, Worcestershire and tomato sauce. Pour into the skillet with the pork and onion, cook about a minute, then stir in pineapple. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- While the filling is cooking, split open the rolls and toast them under the broiler. (I added to the cheese at this point to get it nice and melty!)
- To serve, place a bun bottom on a plate with a scoop of Hula Joe mixture and a sprinkling of cheese. Top with the bun cap.
