Instructions

Directions
Setup and prepare a charcoal or gas grill to reach medium-high heat (500 degrees F).

To make the cocktail marinade, combine all of the ingredients in a small bowl and mix well.

To make the patties, combine ground beef and ground corned beef brisket in a medium bowl. Add marinade to bowl and mix thoroughly. Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions and form the portions into patties to fit the Hawaiian Sweet Bread sections. Cover and cool to marinate until ready to grill.

To make mango melody, carefully peel skin off mango to a cutting board. Cut 1/4 inch slices lengthwise down each side of the mango as close to the seed as possible. Cut each slice into thin lengthwise strips, than cut strips in half widthwise, and place in a small bowl. Brush and oil a portion of the grill grate to place red pepper. Grill until charred on all sides, 4 to 6 minutes per side. Transfer grilled red bell pepper to the cutting board and let cool. Peel, core, seed, and thinly slice the bell pepper. Cut slices in half widthwise and mix into small bowl with mango. Add olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and mix well. Add fresh ground black pepper to taste and set melody aside.

To grill patties, brush the grill rack with olive oil. Place the patties on the rack, cover, and cook, turning once, until done to preference, 4 to 5 minutes on each side. During the last few minutes of cooking, place sweet bread wedges, cut side down, on the outer edges of the rack to toast lightly. During the last minute of cooking, top each patty with a provolone cheese slice.

To assemble the burgers, place enough stone ground mustard to cover the cut side of the sweet bread bottom. On each bottom, than place patty, trimmed green leaf lettuce, and spoonful of mango melody to cover the tops. Add the sweet bread tops and serve. Enjoy and do a little oilean boy dance!
