Beef and Mushroom Burgers

This is not only a healthier burger, but it is full of mushroom flavor. Substituting half of the meat for mushrooms is the secret to this recipe.

Ingredients

8 ounces cremini mushrooms, stems removed
4 ounces white mushrooms, stems removed
1 Tablespoon canola oil
1 cup finely chopped onion
4 large garlic cloves, minced
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
8 ounces 90% lean ground sirlion
Cooking spray

Instructions

Place cremini and white  mushrooms in a food processor. Pulse 4 or 5 times or until coarsely chopped.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.  Add oil and swirl to coat. Add onion and garlic and saute about 3 minutes. Add mushrooms, 1/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp pepper. Cook 7 - 10 minutes or until the liquid evaporates, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and cool mushroom mixture completely.

Place beef in bowl. Add cooled mushroom mixture and combine with your hands. Refrigerate for 10 minutes. Shape into four patties. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp pepper. Refrigerate until ready to grill.

Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Place patties in pan and cook about 3 minutes on each side or until desired doneness.
