Teriyaki Burgers

Summer is the time for burgers! But you can only have a burger so many times before it starts getting old, so my wonderful husband came up with this recipe a few years ago and we all approved!

 

Please excuse my bare burger. I was so tired because we had attended an all day fair and went swimming afterwards that I did not feel like chopping up lettuce and tomatoes!:) Oh and that is not grease, it is overflowing delicious teriyaki sauce.

Teriyaki Burger

Serves 8

Ingredients:
2 lbs ground chuck

1 tsp. onion powder

1 tsp. garlic powder

1 tsp pepper

1 tsp. worcestershire sauce

1 can pineapple slices

Sauce:

1/4 c. soy sauce

1/4 c. brown sugar

1/2 c. water

Toppings:

lettuce

tomato

onions

teriyaki sauce

your choice of cheese (we used provolone)

 

Mix all ingredients for sauce in a small saucepan until well combined. Heat to a boil then simmer for 2 min. Set aside.

Mix all burger ingredients in a medium bowl. Shape into patties making them thinner in the middle. 

Grill burgers on each side for 5- 7 minutes depending on how thick you made yours. Baste burgers on both sides while grilling. 

Serve on buttery, toasted buns and top with a slice of pineapple, more teriyaki sauce and any other desired toppings. Enjoy!
