Ingredients
Scale
- 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)
- Lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles for garnish (optional)
For the glaze:
- 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
Instructions
- Prepare the Burger Patties:
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, teriyaki sauce, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined—be careful not to overwork the meat, as it can make the burgers tough.
Form the mixture into 4 evenly sized patties, making a slight indentation in the center of each to ensure even cooking. - Cook the Burgers:
Preheat a grill or stovetop pan over medium-high heat. Cook the burger patties for about 4-5 minutes per side or until they reach your desired doneness.
In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of American cheese on each patty to melt. - Make the Glaze:
While the burgers are cooking, in a small saucepan, combine the teriyaki sauce, honey, and soy sauce. Heat over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens slightly into a glaze. - Assemble the Burgers:
Place the cooked patties on the toasted buns. Drizzle each patty with the teriyaki glaze for extra flavor.
Add your favorite toppings like lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles, if desired. - Serve:
Serve these Teriyaki Parmesan Burgers with American Cheese hot and fresh. Pair them with fries, chips, or a side salad for a complete meal. Enjoy!
Notes
- Customize the Toppings: Feel free to get creative with toppings. You can add sautéed mushrooms, avocado, or even a fried egg to make the burgers even more indulgent.
- Make the Patties Ahead: You can prepare the burger patties ahead of time and store them in the fridge for up to 2 days before cooking. This allows the flavors to meld together.
- Grilling Option: If you prefer grilling, these burgers work great on the grill as well, adding a smoky flavor to the patties.
- Spicy Glaze Option: For a spicier version, add a dash of sriracha or chili flakes to the glaze mixture to give the burgers a nice kick.
