The Best Burgers You’ll Ever Eat (Made with Mushrooms!)

It’s National Burger Month, which means we are sharpening our knives, firing up the grills and getting ready for a month-long celebration of one of America’s greatest dishes: the burger (ranked #2 only behind Thanksgiving dinner).

The burger is comfort food at its finest, and with so many customizations there’s a burger for everyone.

• Vegetarian? Check.
• Meat lover? Check.
• Cheese, toppings, buns: Check, check, check.

One thing that we think everyone can agree on: adding mushrooms to the mix only makes a burger better. Whether meatless or classic, adding mushrooms means a meatier, juicier burger.

Mushroom lovers, have you tried a blended burger yet? Blended burgers are like any other burger you would make, but with finely chopped fresh mushrooms blended into the patty. It’s a simple way to add more of our favorite fungi into our favorite foods.

Grilled: Grilled Portabella Burgers with Garlic Mayo
Marinate portabella mushrooms in a homemade barbecue spice mix and grill until tender. Serve with sweet grilled red onions, savory garlic and chive mayonnaise.

Satisfy your appetite for a veggie burger that’s easy and healthy. Serve like a regular burger, on a fresh roll with your favorite condiments.
