You won’t miss the meat in these burgers! It calls for feta cheese, but you could use another kind. To clean the mushrooms he recommends using a special brush or a paper towel. I find that I can use just my thumb to do this. I briefly put the mushroom in water & then use my thumb to brush the top layer off the mushroom cap. I use a peeling motion, like I’m using a vegetable peeler, & start at the edge of the cap working toward the top center. Works for me.
Top with lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles, cole slaw, whatever you like. I love a generous helping of guacamole!Serve with baked beans, corn on the cob, green salad, potato salad, sweet potato fries, etc. Great for casual meals with family and friends.

John, I think that would work great. Just remove the stem & put the cooked burger in. You could dice the stem & mix it in with the ground beef before grilling. Mushrooms always make meat taste meatier. I’d add a slice of cheese, tomato, and lettuce. Let me know how it turns out. It sounds terrific!

This looks good. I’m on a diet where I don’t eat any grains, so I need to find a way to make those portobellos into hamburger buns!
Maggie says
Isn’t that great? So many good choices now. Thanks, MC!

Linda, I’m a carnivore too. Actually I’m an omnivore as I eat everything! lol I am on a quest to find the best tasting veggie burger!
Linda says
Even as a carnivore, I have to admit, that’s one good looking burger!
