Ingredients

For the roasted mushroom base:

  • 1/2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 pound cremini or white button mushrooms, quartered
  • <div>1 teaspoon <a href="https://www.psflavor.com/products/creole-kitchen">P.S Flavor!™ Creole Kitchen</a> seasoning or kosher salt and black pepper, to taste</div>

For the burger:

  • 1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef, turkey, chicken or lamb
  • 1 cup roasted mushroom base
  • P.S. Flavor!™ Porcini Pepper or kosher salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Desired burger buns and toppings

Directions

Make the roasted mushroom base:

  1. Place a baking sheet pan in oven and heat oven to 400 F.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the olive oil, mushrooms and seasoning.
  3. Spread in an even layer on the heated baking sheet. Bake on the middle rack of the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes, until the mushrooms are tender and quite dry. They will reduce considerably in volume.
  4. Remove from the heat and allow to cool. Chop finely to the size of ground meat, still retaining some texture. Taste and adjust seasonings.
  5. Makes 1/2 pound or 1 cup.

Make the burger:

  1. In a large bowl, add the ground meat, roasted mushroom base and seasoning, and mix thoroughly.
  2. Form into 6-8 burgers (or 12 slider patties). Season with P.S. Flavor!™ Porcini Pepper seasoning or salt and pepper, and grill to desired doneness.
