Hawaiian Teriyaki Burgers
As much as I like nice elegant dishes like Coq au Vin, Chateaubriand, Rack of Lamb with Herbes de Provence, Beef Wellington, Lobster Newberg and so on, during the summer time, I’m completely the opposite. First, I absolutely love barbecued food! Anything David and I can grill, goes straight on the “barbie”.
One of my summer favorite grilled foods is burgers! You won’t ever see me eating one at a fast food chain restaurant but at home during the barbecue season, we make them almost once a week. I’ve shared several delicious recipes with you like Chipotle Stuffed Bronto Burgers, Italian Burgers with Tomato Slaw, Smoky Pork Burgers, Mexican Burgers, Blue Cheese Burgers, and California Burgers. Now, here’s another mouthwatering recipe to add to the list… Hawaiian Teriyaki Burgers!
OMG! This one is my husband’s favorite although he does enjoy the others very much as well… lol! This burger is stuffed with onions, white sharp Cheddar cheese, finely chopped pineapple and my popular Teriyaki Sauce! The combination is phenomenal! Of course, I serve these patties with my homemade Hamburger Buns…
To make these Hawaiian Teriyaki Burgers even more delicious, I reserve about 2 tbsp. of the teriyaki sauce and combine it with an equal amount of Miracle Whip®. This is the topping sauce that I spoon over the cooked burgers that are garnished with a grilled pineapple slice. What’s left from the teriyaki sauce is used to baste the patties while grilling them on the barbecue. Let me tell you that these burgers are extremely flavorful!
Summer time is about enjoying the outdoors as well as cooking on the barbecue. With these Hawaiian Teriyaki Burgers, each bite is packed with yumminess and a great choice for the season. Cooked perfectly, this is a recipe that you’ll really want to make at your next backyard party! You’ll see by just how much your guests love them…
Bon Appétit!

Ingredients
BURGER PATTIES
- 1 1/2 lbs. (750 g) lean ground beef
- 1/4 cup Panko® breadcrumbs
- 5 tbsp. onions, finely chopped and divided
- ground Himalayan sea salt, to taste
- freshly ground black pepper, to taste and divided (I always use mixed peppercorns)
- 3 tbsp. pineapple, finely chopped
- 3 tbsp. sharp white Cheddar cheese, grated
- 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce, divided see Recipe
TOPPING SAUCE
- 2 tbsp. teriyaki sauce
- 2 tbsp. Miracle Whip®
TOPPINGS
- 3 slices pineapple
- 3 slices sharp white Cheddar cheese Footnote
- 3 hamburger buns see Recipe
Directions
- In a large mixing bowl, add ground beef, breadcrumbs, 2 tbsp. onions, sea salt and black pepper. Mix the ingredients until well distributed.
- Split the ground beef mixture into two pieces; one will be smaller than the other. Take the biggest one and divide it into 3 equal pieces – these will become the patties we’ll put the stuffing in. Make an indentation in the center using either a burger press, the bottom of a small measuring cup or a glass.
- To this, add 1 tbsp. onion per patty, 1 tbsp. pineapple per patty and 1 tbsp. grated cheese per as well. Season with more black pepper before adding teriyaki sauce.
- With the remaining ground beef, form 3 patties. Place each of them on top of the stuffed patties and shape them into a burger, making sure the edges are well sealed. Place them in a large plate and cover with plastic wrap before transferring them to the fridge for at least 1 hour.
- About 15 minutes before time is up, make the topping sauce. In a small bowl, add teriyaki sauce and Miracle Whip. Stir the ingredients very well until the mixture gets smooth and set aside until needed.
- Remove the burgers from the fridge, take the plastic wrap off and let them get to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
- Place burgers on the grates, close the lid and grill them between 450ºF/235ºC to 500ºF/260ºC for 6 to 7 minutes before flipping them. Cook the burger for an additional 6 to 7 minutes as well, basting the patties generously with the remaining teriyaki sauce. Place the pineapple rings on the barbecue before closing the lid.
- Three minutes later, flip the rings and let them cook until the burgers are ready. Also 3 minutes before time is up, place the hamburger buns on the top rack to toast before closing the lid.
- About 2 minutes before everything is done, place the cheese on each patty, close the lid again and let them melt nicely.
- To assemble the burger; place the patty on the hamburger bun followed by a pineapple ring and then, top generously with the teriyaki-Miracle Whip sauce. Serve immediately
