Teriyaki Pina Colada Burger is our favorite! It’s a secret blend of meat for the juiciest burger, topped with teriyaki sauce, grilled pineapple, crispy bacon and a special pina colada sauce.

Cade has created a monster. A real life hamburger monster. Annnd that sounds gross. I’ve never really cared for burgers, but slowly and surely I’m realizing that it’s all about how the burger is made.

In fact I had one in Portland a few years ago that is still one of the best I’ve ever had. Except I had to shower when I got home as all the spices had gotten stuck in my hair and made my hair smell horrid. But it was worth it.

Anyway we’ve been creating quite a few favorites like the Brazilian burger and the rest I’ll list at the end of the post so you all can have a list of them all. But this teriyaki pina colada burger (which was inspired by the darling Jeana Hammer), well thanks to our 2 secrets for the best burger, is awesome!

How This Recipe Came to Be

This is one of those burgers that you kind of have to trust me on. I know some maybe find it weird that we baste the burger, but trust me, it’s so yum. Good golly it’s good! I mean, if you can make a teriyaki steak (which happens to be a favorite of mine at Tepanyaki grills) then why not a burger?

And then as they were cooking I thought, we just had Maui pork nachos with pina colada sauce which is one of our favorite football foods ever, so why not use the leftover sauce to make a pina colada mayo?! BOOYAH BABY!!

Ingredients for a Teriyaki Pina Colada Burger

What Hamburger Meat is Best?

Cut from the shoulder, ground chuck ranges from 15 to 20 percent fat and has a rich flavor and tender, moist texture.

It is best choice for burgers, but we like to take it to the next level by adding some ground sirloin as well. Ground sirloin is a bit dry by itself in burgers, but it has amazing beef flavor, so we combine the two to get the rich beefy flavor and the juiciness you need in a burger!

When is Hamburger Meat Done?

The interior of a raw hamburger usually does contain bacteria, and is safest if cooked well done.

Because E. coli is killed at 155 degrees Fahrenheit, the USDA sets the minimum safe temperature for ground beef at 160 degrees Fahrenheit.

The Pina Colada Sauce

The pina colada sauce originally comes from our ham dipping sauce, and you absolutely must try it and the world’s best honey mustard sauce come holiday season.

It turned out so fantabulous! We all agreed that the only thing that would have made it even better would have been to use this brown sugar grilled pineapple, but we were trying to not ingest 5 million calories in one sitting so we decided on plain pineapple.

How Long Will Cooked Hamburger Keep?

Cooked ground beef will keep for 3-4 days in the refrigerator.

Description

Teriyaki Pina Colada Burger is our favorite! It's a secret blend of meat for the juiciest burger, teriyaki sauce, pineapple and a special pina colada sauce.

Ingredients 

  • 4 Brioche Buns
  • 2 lbs The [Perfect Burger Mix]
  • 2/3  Cup Teriyaki Sauce, divided
  • Salt and Pepper, to taste

  • 1/3 Cup [Pina Colada Sauce]
  • 1/3 Cup Mayonnaise
  • 4 Slices Colby Jack Cheese
  • 4-8 Slices Bacon, cooked

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, combine the 1/3 cup pina colada sauce and mayo.
    1/3 Cup [Pina Colada Sauce], 1/3 Cup Mayonnaise
  • Butter each side of the buns, set aside, and heat the grill to high heat.
    2 Tablespoons Butter, 4 Brioche Buns
  • Mix the meat gently with the 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce.
    2 lbs The [Perfect Burger Mix], 2/3  Cup Teriyaki Sauce
  • Form into 4 burgers and brush with a little melted butter then sprinkle each side with salt and pepper.
    2 Tablespoons Butter, Salt and Pepper
  • Place on the grill and grill 4-7 minutes .
  • Using a spoon drizzle the teriyaki over the burgers.
    2/3  Cup Teriyaki Sauce
  • Flip the burger and using a brush or a new spoon, spread teriyaki over the burger, plus any more at the end to taste.
    2/3  Cup Teriyaki Sauce
  • Allow to cook for another 4-7 minutes or until done. (A well done burger will not be as flavorful so we usually do medium)
  • Place cheese over each burger right before it is done and close the lid to melt the cheese.
    4 Slices Colby Jack Cheese
  • Meanwhile, grill the pineapple until marks appear, about 2 minutes, flip and grill again.
    4 Slices Pineapple
  • Remove to a plate and cut out the core.
  • Grill each bun, inside face down, until grill marks appear.
  • Spread the pina colada mayo on each side of the bun.
  • Place the burger, pineapple and bacon on the bottom and top with the lid.
    4-8 Slices Bacon
  • Enjoy!

Notes

Leaving the core in while cooking will help the pineapple to not fall apart and be easier to turn. Once it’s done use a paring knife or small donut hole cutter to remove the core.
Left overs can be refrigerated for 2-3 days.
