Preheat your grill or stovetop pan to medium-high heat.
In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, teriyaki sauce, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.
Form the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties.
Grill the patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until fully cooked.
Place a slice of American cheese on each patty and let it melt.
Toast the burger buns lightly on the grill.
Assemble the burgers with lettuce, tomato, and pickles if desired.
Serve hot and enjoy!
