A lot of times I decide what to make based on what I have in the fridge and the pantry. This week I found myself with too many mushrooms, so in scratching my head about what to do with them, I opted for burgers. These turned out way better than expected, and I’m so happy to be able to share the recipe!
I used nearly the same seasonings as I would when doing my own hamburger seasoning for ground beef. The flavour is imitative of an actual burger, yet it retains its own punch. The meaty texture of the mushrooms is perfect for producing something burger-esque. I loved everything about this one. Sometimes you want a burger, but you don’t want a burger, you know what I mean? This is perfect for those moments.
