Pineapple Teriyaki Sliders
Ingredients
- 12 slider buns, we used Hawaiian slider buns
- butter, softened, for toasting buns
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 1/2 lbs ground beef
- salt and pepper
- 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce, find the thicker sauce variety vs the thinner marinade
- 6 slices pepper jack cheese, quartered to make 24 small squares
- 1/2 fresh pineapple, thinly sliced
- 6 large leaves of romaine lettuce, cut into pieces to fit the slider buns
Instructions
- Heat a nonstick griddle over medium heat. Lightly spread the buns with butter and toast them. Spread each bun half with mayonnaise.
- Divide the ground beef into 12 two-ounce patties. Flatten each patty out to fit the size of your slider buns. Season each side with salt and pepper. Heat a cast iron or stainless steel skillet over high heat and cook the patties until nicely browned on each side and cooked to your desired doneness. Using a pastry brush, brush each patty with teriyaki sauce, then top with two small squares of cheese and brush with additional sauce. Melt the cheese, then transfer the patties to the prepared slider bun bottoms. Top with pineapple and lettuce and add the bun tops.
