These Teriyaki Sliders are a flavorful fusion of sweet and savory, featuring juicy pork patties blended with mushrooms, scallions, and teriyaki sauce for a sausage-like texture. Grilled pineapple rings, provolone cheese, and a drizzle of honey teriyaki BBQ sauce add bold tropical flair, all tucked into soft Hawaiian rolls with a swipe of mayo. It’s a fun, crowd-pleasing recipe perfect for summer cookouts or casual family dinners.

Instructions
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)
In a mini chopper, combine mushrooms, 2 of the scallions, and the ginger (I didn't add the ginger here because I used the jarred version). Pulse until finely chopped. Transfer to a medium-sized 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.
Shape mixture into 12 equal-sized 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.)
To build the sliders, place 1/2 ring of pineapple followed by a patty, about 1 tsp teriyaki bbq sauce, a few diced scallions, and spread a little mayo on the lid of the slider.
