Mushroom Beef Burger
This take on a juicy burger uses melted mozzarella, fresh mushrooms and caramelized onions for a delicious result. Using the blend-and-extend technique of combining mushrooms with ground beef provides an extra serving of vegetables, boosts flavour and adds a serving of vitamin D.
Ingredients
Preparation
- Blend/pulse mushrooms until fine in a food processor.
- Cook mushrooms on a griddle or large frying pan over medium heat for about 4 to 5 minutes, stirring often.
- Set aside to cool.
- Give the griddle a quick wipe-down, turn it down to low medium, and toss in your sliced onions along with butter.
- Cook for about 15 to 20 minutes, stirring often, until soft and golden.
- While onions are cooking and once mushrooms have cooled, combine mushrooms together with ground beef in a prep bowl.
- Stir until well-combined and form into four patties.
- Place on a plate, cover and put in the fridge.
- Once onions are the right texture and colour, add balsamic vinegar and cook another 2 minutes, stirring often.
- Remove from griddle and set aside.
- Wipe down griddle, turn it back up to medium, then add a small lug of oil and spread it around.
- Combine salt and pepper in a small prep bowl, then sprinkle roughly half of the seasoning on burgers.
- Place them on the griddle with the seasoned side facing down.
- After about 4 minutes, season the tops with the other half of the salt and pepper mix, then flip.
- Cook an additional 3 to 5 minutes until no pink remains.
- Build burgers by applying mayo to both sides of buns, then add patties and top with one to two slices of fresh mozzarella and caramelized onions.
