Preparation:

Drain pineapple and save juice. In a bowl, combine the pineapple, beef, eggs, garlic, cheese, onion, bread crumbs and red peppers. Mix well and shape meat into 1 large hamburger shaped patty, 1 1/2 inches thick. Place on a broiler rack. Preheat broiler. In a saucepan, combine saved pineapple juice with the can of pineapple juice, marmalade, honey, cornstarch and worcestershire. Stir until cornstarch is dissolved. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until sauce boils and thickens. Brush sauce over top of meat. Broil meat 4 inches from the heat source for 10 minutes. Baste again with the sauce and broil 10 more minutes. With 2 large spatulas, move the meat patty to a plate. Place another plate on top. Invert the patty and slide back onto the broiler rack. Baste patty with sauce. Broil 10 minutes or until done to taste. Place meat patty on the bottom half of the bread. Add garnishes of your choice (tomatoes, onions, sauces, etc..) and top with other bread half. Cut into pie shaped wedges. Serve while hot.
