These Pineapple Teriyaki Burgers are a welcome change to your typical summertime burger. Your friends and family will agree!
Pineapple Teriyaki Burgers
Who’s the grill master at your house? At our house, I am. Burgers are always popular in the summertime and I love changing it up and making different kinds.
We have burgers about once every two weeks from about May until September sometime …. which means I need lots of variations! Of course, we eat them throughout the year, just not as frequently as in the summer. This is one of our favorites. I hope you enjoy it as well!

Pineapple Teriyaki Burgers
Ingredients
- 2 pounds lean ground beef
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Teriyaki sauce to baste
- 8 Pineapple rings
- 8 Hamburger buns toasted, if desired
- Shredded lettuce
- 8 slices Cheddar Cheese
- Mayo
Instructions
- Preheat your grill (direct grilling over high heat).
- Divide the ground beef into 8 equal portions. On waxed paper, flatten each portion into thin patty shapes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Grill the pineapple slices a few minutes on each side until it has grill marks.
- Meanwhile, place the burgers on the grill and grill for approximately 4-5 minutes. (Use your best judgement here – all grills are different!) Carefully flip and continue to cook the patties for another 3-4 minutes or until the meat is cooked through (cook to 160°). Using a basting brush, brush the burger with teriyaki sauce. Allow to cook for an additional minute or two – and baste with teriyaki sauce again. Top each burger with a slice of cheese and cook until cheese melts – about 1-2 minutes. Remove the burgers from the grill and allow them to rest for a few minutes before serving. (Now is a great time to toast your buns if you like them toasted!)
- Top each bun with a bit of mayonnaise. Add a burger patty, pineapple slice and shredded lettuce. Serve!
Notes
- **Whatever you do – DO NOT USE A SPATULA TO PRESS THE BURGER – not with this burger or any burger!! Just my two cents! I’m sure the burger police will come after you if you don’t heed my advice!**

You had me at Pineapple ! Pinned 🙂
These look yummy! We love burgers, my hubby says he could eat them everyday – then I remind him of all the other foods he loves that he would miss if I cooked burgers everyday, lol.
I absolutely love burgers, but I have never had a teriyaki burger…that wasn't chicken! I must give these a try, they look delicious Jamie 🙂
Oh my word! These look wonderful, Jamie! Pinning this one. Hope you are having a great weekend!
