Portabella Mushroom Burgers

Happy Sunday everyone! 

The last few weeks have been busy, but I am bringing you another one of our recipes today.

Portabella Mushroom Burgers!

Never again will you feel deprived of a burger while being vegetarian. Portabella mushrooms are meaty, filling, juicy, and they hold a lot of flavor.

Take a look at our recipe below for your next meal. We grilled our mushrooms, so this would be a good recipe to have at your next BBQ!

Portabella Mushroom Burgers

2-4 large portabella mushroom caps
2 tbsp. of Canola oil
Sprinkle of salt and black pepper
2 tsp. of garlic powder
2 tsp. of onion powder

Sides
1 tbsp. of butter
1/2 red onion
2 handfuls of fresh spinach

Directions
1.) Heat up your grill or in my case plug in your George Foreman grill.
2.) Spray the grill with non-stick cooking spray.
3.) Take the mushroom caps and clean out the brown filters on the inside of the mushroom with a spoon. Scoop that portion out and with a damp paper towel, clean off the mushrooms.
4.) Once that has been completed,  add all of the seasonings and canola oil (1 tbsps. per mushroom) to the inside of the mushroom caps and rub all over the mushrooms coating both sides.
5.) Once the grill is hot, add the mushrooms to the grill. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side.
6.) As the mushrooms are cooking, chop half of a red onion and add to a pan with a tbsp of butter on medium heat.
7.) Once the onions begin to caramelize, add in the spinach.
8.) Allow this to cook until all of the spinach is wilted.
9.) Take this mixture out of pan and sit aside for your toppings.
10.)At this point, the mushrooms should be done cooking on the grill. They are done when they have shrunk down in thickness slightly and in size with nice grill marks.
11.) If you would like, you can toast your buns on the grill for 1 minute or you can just serve your mushroom burgers on a regular bun.

Pile up your burgers with lettuce, tomato, avocado, mayo, cheese, and the grilled onion mixture.

Feel free to serve your burgers with fries. We purchased a bag from the grocery store and opted to bake them.

Enjoy!
