Grilled Pineapple Portabella Mushroom Teriyaki Burger
I’ve been craving a good cheeseburger lately – something a little different. So this weekend I whooped up a teriyaki burger, with a Hawaiian style grilled pineapple and portabella teriyaki sauce topping to make this burger sing!
Using some canned pineapple slices, fresh portabella mushrooms, and my favorite hawaiian teriyaki sauce, I had a simple concoction slather over my burgers that gives you a taste of sweet, and a little umami, with a mouthful of juiciness.
This is definitely one of my top 5 burgers to make at home!
I grilled the pineapple and portabella mushrooms before adding them in a skillet with the teriyaki sauce on the top rack to warm. While my burgers were grilling with a little cheddar cheese on top, I had my Hawaiian roll hamburger buns toasting on the side-burner.
Yeah there wont be calorie counting on this meal.
For my picky four-year-old of course, it was plain cheeseburger as per usual. But that day he actually wanted a little ketchup and pickles on his burger.
I can’t believe it! *choke* My little boy is growing up!
If you decide to go for super teriyaki burger..
My rendition of this teriyaki burger uses cheese, if you’re the hamburger type of person, I highly suggest basting your burger in the teriyaki sauce to add even more flavor to this awesome burger.
I’ll accept thank you’s in the form of coffee thanks you very much!

Ummm yea!! These burgers look heaven sent! Another great unique recipe! Keep them coming!
That looks pretty tasty. I wouldn’t have thought about pairing pineapple and mushroom together.
Holey socks! These burgers look fantastic. What a great combination there. Even though summer is ending soon, grilling pretty much never ends for us. We grill year round – even grilled out in winter….in Alaska! ๐
What a great variation of the burger, would love to try these!
Oh man, these photos are calling me! That close up shot you have of the burger – wow, you needn’t have bothered with any words! Love the recipe and all the flavours going in here, Derek.
These are good ones, great clicks
This would be great to make this long weekend! If only it wasn’t 112 deg here!
This sounds like a delicious labor day weekend grilling plan!
Mmmmmm, I’ll take mine with out the beef! Portabellos are so meaty and flavorful on their own… and with pineapple!! ๐
