Rhonda writes: "These are wonderful!"
With these burgers, you’ll find sweet and tangy teriyaki sauce crammed into every nook and cranny of your burger patties. Then, to send things over-the-top, we add perfectly chargrilled slices of sweet pineapple.
This my friends creates nothing less than a sweet Hawaiian teriyaki dream come true!
They’re also super quick and easy to grill up, and always disappear as fast as I can make them! Just like when I make my tasty Ranch Burger, outrageous BBQ Burgers, and flavor packed honey Mustard Grilled Chicken.
We love them so much, we’ve even made them on the grill by the beach on Kauai! 🙂
Now those are some delicious memories! (See my Kauai Travel Guide for more about that trip.)
You can even serve your teriyaki burger alongside a Sparkling Pineapple Mocktail to create a dreamy tropical duo!
So what are you waiting for?
With blue skies and warm weather, it’s the perfect time to grilled up some heavenly Hawaiian burgers…

First check in your kitchen, then add the following to your next grocery list to make sure you’ve got everything on hand…

Pin ItHow To Make Teriyaki Burgers
Making your own pineapple teriyaki burgers is a cinch, and once you try them… you’ll never want boring, plain burgers again!
1. Mix your ingredients together in a medium mixing bowl.
2. Then form the beef into 8 burger patties, before carefully stacking the patties on pieces of wax paper and covering.
3. Place your burger patties in the refrigerator to allow the flavors to marinate.
4. Then cook your teriyaki burger patties and pineapple rings per the instructions in the recipe card below.
5. Finally, build your teriyaki pineapple burgers starting with the cooked burgers and buns. Then add your teriyaki burger toppings: chargrilled pineapple slices, an extra dash of teriyaki sauce, grilled onions, lettuce, and an optional slice of Swiss cheese.
That’s it. Easy peasy! Simple Beef Dinner Recipes really don’t get any tastier or more rewarding than this flavor packed Red Robin teriyaki burger recipe copycat!

How To Store
Want to store your teriyaki burger patties even longer? Just carefully place your wax paper stacked burger patties in a gallon sized freezer bag. Before closing up the bag, try to remove as much air as possible. Then store in the freezer for 1-2 months.
When it’s time to grill them up, remove the number of frozen teriyaki burger patties you need the night before, and allow them to thaw in the refrigerator before grilling.

What To Serve With Teriyaki Burgers
One of my favorite Grilling Menu Ideas is to serve up these burgers with some fabulous Feta Cheese Fries or seasoned Potato Wedges Recipe.
Then, to create the ultimate teriyaki burger experience, I like to add on a hefty serving of both my Slow Cooker Mac and Cheese and sassy Simple Coleslaw Recipe!
