It’s warm out in Chicago so that means time to grill some more burgers! I love a good burger, this is one you can throw on the grill or can be smoked. A good Mushroom Cheddar Burger. I usually am not a mushroom guy but this one breaks the mold.
Mushroom Cheddar Burger Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 lbs. Ground Beef
- 4 oz.. Cubed Sharp Cheddar Cheese
- 2 oz. Baby Bella Crimini Mushrooms
- 1 Anaheim Pepper chopped
- 1 Large AA Eggs
- 1/4 Stick No Salt Butter
- 1/8 Cup Worcestershire Sauce
- 1/4 Cup Chopped Red Onion
- 1 Tsp. Coarse Ground Black Pepper
- 1 Tsp. Minced Garlic
- 1 Tsp. Chili Powder
- 1 Tsp. Finely Chopped Rosemary
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a skillet over medium to high heat. Add the red onion and Anaheim peppers. Saute for about 1 1/2 minutes then add the mushrooms. Shake on some coarse ground black pepper to taste. Continue to sauté until the pepper become translucent. Add 1 Tbsp. minced garlic and 1 Tbsp. chopped rosemary. Stir this in and cook for another minute. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In medium bowl combine; Eggs, Worcestershire Sauce, Chili Powder, Onion Powder, Ground Black Pepper.
- Place ground beef in a large mixing bowl. I like to poke holes all over the ground beef using my fingers to allow the liquids to get down into the meat. It makes for easier and more thorough mixing. Pour the egg mixture into the holes and over the meat. Thoroughly mix the liquid into the meat. Next dump in the cubed sharp cheddar cheese and thoroughly mix. Again thoroughly mix this into the meat.
- It's time to make the patties. There are no rules here. Make them round, square thin or thick. Form them the way you like them.
- You can Grill or Smoke the burgers to your liking. If grilling use indirect heat as you don't want to have the large chunks of Cheddar just melt out of them. You don't need a slice of cheese on these like a traditional cheese burger but if you like them extra cheesy then feel free to put one on.
