A delicious blend of sweet and savory flavors with grilled pineapple and teriyaki-glazed beef patties.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef (or ground turkey)
- 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
- 4 slices fresh pineapple
- 4 brioche or whole wheat buns
- 1 cup shiitake or portobello mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 green onions, chopped

Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef with teriyaki sauce, minced garlic, and chopped green onions. Shape into patties with a small indentation in the center.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and grill the pineapple slices for 3-4 minutes on each side until caramelized. Set aside.
- Grill the burger patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, brushing with additional teriyaki sauce. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 160°F.

- Serve with sweet potato fries or coleslaw and enjoy.
Notes
