Once a week I let the kids pick what they want for dinner. Don’t get me started on the Kid’s ‘Cheese Night‘. No, let’s move on to the Baby’s pick – hamburgers. I changed up boring hamburgers a bit by making them into mini sliders, adding a teriyaki flavor and serving them on a Hawaiian Sweet Bread roll. It took boring old hamburgers to a whole new level. And the Kid still got his cheese…but on a burger.

ingredients:
1 pound ground beef
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 teaspoon minced ginger
4 Tablespoons brown sugar
1/3 cup soy sauce
1 Tablespoons Mirin
1/4 teaspoon pepper

sweet bread rolls

In a medium bowl whisk the garlic, ginger, brown sugar, soy sauce, mirin and pepper.

Add the ground beef into the bowl with the sauce – keep mixing it with your hands until it’s nice and juicy and combined.

Shape the meat into 8 small patties. Sprinkle with a little salt and pepper, then grill or pan fry until cooked through.

Serve with tomatoes, cheese, lettuce, whatever you like, on a sweet bread roll. Makes a nice appetizer or a fun dinner for kids!
