Description

Imagine sinking your teeth into a burger that satisfies all your cravings without the guilt. This recipe brings that dream to life, offering a flavorful and satisfying experience that’s perfect any day of the week. At the heart of this dish are juicy, well-seasoned beef patties.

Each patty is crafted to achieve a delightful balance of textures: a beautifully seared exterior that gives way to a tender, succulent interior. As they cook, the aroma alone is enough to make your mouth water, promising a taste that lives up to the anticipation. Complementing the savory beef are sweet, caramelized onions, slow-cooked to unlock their natural sugars and create a melt-in-your-mouth texture.

These onions add a layer of richness and depth, perfectly contrasting with the robust flavor of the beef. Crispy bacon strips contribute a smoky, salty crunch that elevates the burger to a whole new level. The satisfying snap of the bacon as you bite into it provides a textural counterpoint to the softness of the onions and the juiciness of the patty.

A generous melting of blue cheese adds a tangy, creamy element that binds all the flavors together. The sharpness of the blue cheese cuts through the richness of the beef and bacon, creating a harmonious blend that is both bold and balanced. For a unique twist, these delectable burgers are nestled between two Portobello mushroom caps.

These large, meaty mushrooms provide an earthy, substantial alternative to traditional buns. Lightly grilled or roasted, they offer a tender bite and a subtle flavor that complements the other ingredients without overpowering them. Of course, the choice is yours: enjoy these burgers as they are, savoring each component individually, or wrap them in crisp lettuce leaves for a lighter, refreshing option.

No matter how you choose to serve them, these burgers are a guaranteed crowd-pleaser, offering a symphony of flavors and textures that will leave you feeling completely satisfied.

Instructions

    1.
    Heat one tablespoon of olive oil in a frying pan over medium/low heat. Slice the onion and add to the pan with the balsamic vinegar. Fry gently until golden and caramelized, turning occasionally for about 10 minutes. Reserve to one side.
    2.
    While the onions are cooking, add the bacon to a dry pan over medium heat and cook until crisp, about 5 minutes. Reserve to one side.
    3.
    Add the ground beef, onion powder, and garlic powder to a mixing bowl. Season generously.
    4.
    Use your hands to combine the beef and seasonings well and form them into two large patties. Heat one tablespoon of olive oil in a large frypan over medium/high heat and add the patties. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side until the meat is well browned and completely cooked through.
    5.
    While the burgers are cooking, preheat the grill to medium. Brush the remaining olive oil over the mushrooms on both sides. Place under the grill top side down for five minutes until cooked and tender.
    6.
    Remove the hot patties from the pan and layer with sliced blue cheese.
    7.
    To assemble the burgers, use one mushroom as the base of each burger. Layer with a slice of iceberg lettuce and then add the strips of bacon. Add the pattie with the melted cheese and then a layer of onion. Top with another mushroom.
