We went on vacation this Summer with my parents. While we were there, I was looking at an issue of Family Circle that my mom brought with her. The issue had a bunch a recipes I wanted to try and this recipe happen to be one of them. However, we made it a little bit ago. We liked it but for me it was still in need of some more flavor. When I went to get my picture off the memory card for my camera in order to post the recipe, it wasn’t there. There were actually several items that I took pictures of that just could not be found on the memory card. So, I had to make the sliders again to get a picture. This time I made a few alterations and they turned out much better. The patty is made from ground pork and has a texture like sausage. My family does not like mushrooms and they had no idea there was mushrooms in the patty. I didn’t change anything with that. The original recipe had you make a sauce using mayo, sugar, and some teriyaki sauce. This sauce really lacked flavor for me and really didn’t add anything at all to the sliders. So, I added grilled pineapple and some honey teriyaki bbq sauce along with some mayo spread on the roll. So much better! I also made mine on the grill.
Teriyaki Sliders
1 package (12 per package) mini soft dinner rolls (I used King’s Hawaiian)
4 ounces (1-1/2 cups) sliced mushrooms (I used 4 mushrooms)
2 scallions, trimmed and cut up, plus more chopped scallions, for garnish
2 teaspoons peeled and coarsely chopped fresh ginger (1-inch piece, I just measured out that stuff in a jar)
1 pound ground pork
1/4 cup teriyaki stir-fry sauce ( House of Tsang was suggested I used Kroger)
1/4 cup panko bread crumbs
3 slices of provolone cheese, (each slice cut into 4 pieces)
6 rings of canned pineapple
honey teriyaki bbq sauce (I used KC Masterpiece)
light mayo
1. Heat broiler. Line a baking pan with foil; coat foil with nonstick cooking spray. Wrap rolls in foil and place in lower part of oven to warm. ( I did my patties and pineapple on the grill and didn’t bother with warming the rolls)
2. In a mini chopper, combine mushrooms, 2 of the scallions and the ginger (I didn’t add the ginger here because I used the stuff in a jar). Pulse until finely chopped. Transfer to a medium-size bowl and add pork, 1/4 cup of the stir-fry sauce and the bread crumbs (This is when I added the jarred ginger). Stir to blend.
3. Shape mixture into 12 equal-size patties, a scant 1/4 cup for each. Place patties on prepared baking pan; broil 4 inches from heat for 6 minutes, turning once, until instant-read thermometer registers 160° when inserted into center of burgers. (remember I did mine on the grill. If using the oven also cook the pineapple too. Put 1/4 of a slice of provolone on each patty just before they are done to melt the cheese)
4. To build the sliders, place 1/2 ring of pineapple followed by a patty, about 1 tsp teriyaki bbq sauce, a few diced scallion, and spread a little mayo on the lid of the slider.
YUM! We made these tonight and they were SO GOOD! Made them in the broiler and paired them with your pineapple rice. Delicious dinner! Thank you!
