Try to ensure your beef is fresh as possible. The mushrooms add a great texture and taste. Sorry, but there aint no comparing homemade to frozen burgers. These are in a league of their own.

Ingredients

Main ingredients

  • 2 and 1/2 pounds (1 kilogram) good quality lean ground beef

  • 2 portabella mushrooms, cleaned

  • 1 medium onion

  • 2 egg whites or 1/3 cup Haddar Egg Whites

  • 1 teaspoon ground parsley flakes

Directions

Prepare the Burgers

1.

Pulse the mushrooms and onion in a food processor to chop them finely.

2.

Place all ingredients into a large bowl and mix until the ingredients are just combined. Press meat gently into the shape of patties; this recipe will make about 6–8.

3.

Heat grill to high and cook for about 4 minutes on each side for medium-done burgers. Don’t overcook them or they will dry out. Let sit for 6–8 minutes before eating.

Notes:

Do not move the burgers while they are on the grill until they are ready to be flipped. It’s best to leave them in one place to cook evenly.

YOu could fry them and you could also bake them. Be careful with the extra fat that runs off. Adjust baking temp and use a meat thermometer till you have achieved the done ness you desire.

Mushrooms really do impart great flavor. Especially in the case of this recipe. Portabellos are delicious. They are also meaty in texture so I doubt the recipe would yield the same result without them.
