Ingredients
Scale
Burger Patties
- 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
Teriyaki Glaze
- 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
Instructions
- Prepare the Burger Patties: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix gently but thoroughly to evenly distribute the seasonings. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty to ensure even cooking.
- Cook the Burgers: Preheat a grill or stovetop pan over medium-high heat. Place the patties on the cooking surface and cook for 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes or until they reach your preferred level of doneness. In the last minute of cooking, top each patty with a slice of American cheese to melt.
- Make the Glaze: While the burgers cook, combine 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce, honey, and soy sauce in a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 2-3 minutes until the glaze thickens to a syrupy consistency.
- Assemble the Burgers: Place each cooked patty on a toasted bun. Drizzle a generous amount of the teriyaki glaze over the patties. Add optional toppings such as lettuce, tomato slices, onion rings, and pickles according to your preference.
- Serve: Serve the Teriyaki Parmesan Burgers hot alongside your favorite sides like fries, chips, or a fresh salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
Notes
- For juicier burgers, avoid overmixing the meat when forming patties.
- The indentation in the patties helps prevent puffing up during cooking.
- You can swap American cheese for Swiss or cheddar if preferred.
- Adjust the sweetness of the glaze by varying the honey amount to suit your taste.
- These burgers can be cooked on either a grill or stovetop pan depending on your equipment availability.
