Classic Blended Burger

Yield: 4 to 6 burgers

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces of your favorite mushroom variety, finely chopped (suggested: crimini or white button)
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 to 6 buns

Instructions

  1. Add chopped mushrooms, ground meat and salt into a large bowl and mix until combined. Form into 4-5 large patties or 6 smaller patties.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the burger patties approximately 4 minutes per side, or to your preferred level of doneness. Remove burger patties from heat and toast buns in the same skillet.
  3. Assemble burgers with your favorite toppings and condiments.

Notes

For extra flavor, sauté the chopped mushrooms first. Let briefly cool before blending with meat and forming into patties.
