Teriyaki Burgers

by Sherry L

Teriyaki Burgers:

Serves 6

1 1/2 pds hamburger
1 8 oz can water chestnuts (drained and chopped)

Marinade:
1/3 cup reduced sodium beef broth or sherry
1/2 cup reduced sodium soy sauce
2 green onions chopped
1 tbsp brown sugar
2 garlic cloves-minced
1/2 tsp ground ginger
6 buns
6 Pineapple rings
6 slices swiss or provolone cheese

Mix the burger and water chestnuts. Shape into 6 burgers and place in a 13x9 pan.

Mix all marinade ingredients and save out 1/4 cup. Pour remaining marinade over burgers. Marinate at least 2-3 hours or longer (I did a set for a day and 1/2 and they were super awesome). Turn frequently.

Grill patties brushing with remaining marinade. Grill the pineapple rings for about 1-2 minutes per side. Top the burgers with a pineapple ring, and a slice of cheese. Serve on buns. Mmmmmmmm.

These are good to make up a bunch and freeze to pull out and make later.

Or top burgers with pesto, cheese, and sliced red bell peppers. Sliced avocados or guacamole, and bacon and a slice of white cheese.
