Teriyaki Burger

Apparently when Chris was younger, he used to put Teriyaki sauce on everything. Like everything. He actually still whips it out when we go to his parents' house and sometimes douses his mom's delicious cooking in it. I mean I get that the stuff is good, but...huh? I just don't get it. I don't even think I knew they even sold bottled Teriyaki sauce in the stores until I met Chris. Whoopsies!

So just for my husband, I decided to whip up Teriyaki Burgers. I put a good amount of the prepared sauce in the actual beef mixture, which made the burgers so tender and juicy. I also dipped the patties into the sauce before cooking them, which gave them some extra flavor. But it wasn't too overdone. There was a slight Teriyaki flavor, which was just enough. I really enjoyed these as well!
