Ingredients
For the Burgers:
1 lb ground beef (80/20 preferred for juiciness)
1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
4 slices American cheese
4 burger buns, toasted
Optional toppings: lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles
For the Glaze:
1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon soy sauce
Instructions
- Prepare the Burger Patties: In a large bowl, mix the ground beef, teriyaki sauce, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Divide the mixture into 4 patties and make a small indentation in the center of each for even cooking.
- Cook the Burgers: Preheat a grill or stovetop pan over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes per side or until desired doneness is reached. In the last minute, place a slice of American cheese on each patty to melt.
- Make the Glaze: In a small saucepan, combine teriyaki sauce, honey, and soy sauce. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 2-3 minutes until the glaze thickens.
- Assemble the Burgers: Place the cooked patties on toasted buns. Drizzle each patty with the teriyaki glaze and top with optional toppings like lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles.
- Serve: Serve the burgers hot with sides like fries, chips, or a salad for a complete meal.
Notes
Use 80/20 ground beef for the juiciest and most flavorful burgers.
If you prefer a spicier burger, add red pepper flakes to the burger mix or jalapeños as a topping.
For a lighter option, consider using turkey or chicken in place of beef, though they may be less juicy.
The glaze can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
