Welcome to Burger Month 2019 sponsored by Girl Carnivore! Recipe and photos contained within are my own, but all the fun giveaway info comes from the event.
My recipe of the day is for Hawaiian Teriyaki Burgers, which were such a Big Kahuna of a dinner that I couldn’t even finish the sandwich; made as two burgers, they clocked in at almost two-thirds pound. But you can shrink those down however you like. It’s the way of burgers, large or small? You decide.
It’s burger month and that means every blogger on earth will be posting a burger recipe or three. I mean, really. How many ways can you think of to make a burger? *laughs* My answer to that is…how much time do you have? I could talk burgers all night, and well into next week.
And what better way to put together your yummiest burger than with a burger prize pack? Be sure to enter using the rafflecopter link below..

The Hawaiian teriyaki burgers as you will see are not simply 100% ground beef, but the flavors are made more complex with the addition of either ground ham, or ground spam. You know the Hawaiians love spam, but not everyone does, so the choice is yours.
The burgers rest their laurels on a Hawaiian bun, with Swiss cheese, grilled onions, grilled pineapple, and bathed in teriyaki sauce.
Just try to get your mouth around this one! I dare ya’!
Along with my recipe for Hawaiian Teriyaki Burgers I am including here a recipe I developed some time back as a Teriyaki Grilling Glaze and posted at Recipezazz, which if you like making your sauces from scratch, you can feel free to use in this recipe, although I did just use the Kona Coast bottled stuff.
Teriyaki Grilling Glaze
1/2 cup pineapple juice
1/2 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon wine (dry white wine or rice wine)
1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
6 tablespoons brown sugar
1 scallion, sliced
1 tablespoon ginger paste
2 teaspoons garlic paste
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1 tablespoon cornstarch
Whisk together ingredients in a small saucepan and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat and stir until mixture thickens and can coat the back of a spoon; allow to cool before using.
Brush on meats a few minutes before they get done to allow the glaze to stick and set.

So many layers of flavors in this burger. Looks delicious.
This is just delicious. I made it without the teriyaki and loved it, then finally got the real recipe and it elevated it so much more. Finally, meaning, got the recipe again from Sue, Had seen it on fb didnt save, lost it and had trouble remembering what she named it.
