Roadhouse Burger
Ingredients
4 ounces pre-sliced baby portabella mushrooms (rinsed)
¼ cup pre-sliced green onions
1 tablespoon roasted garlic
1 medium tomato (rinsed)
1 ½ teaspoons seasoned pepper blend
4 (6-ounce) ground chuck patties
4 thin American cheese slices
4 wheat sandwich rolls
4 dill pickle slices
¼ cup barbecue sauce
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
Steps
- Preheat grill on medium-high. Combine mushrooms, green onions, and roasted garlic in microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on HIGH 1–2 minutes or until mushrooms are tender; set aside. Cut tomato into thin slices to top burgers (add any extra tomato to salad); set aside.
- Sprinkle seasoned pepper over both sides of patties; place on grill. Wash hands. Close lid (or cover with foil); grill 4–5 minutes on each side or until internal temperature reaches 155°F (for medium). During last 1–2 minutes of grill time, top each patty with ¼ mushroom mixture and 1 cheese slice. Use meat thermometer to accurately ensure doneness. (Grills vary widely; adjust time as needed.)
- Place patties on bottom halves of rolls; top with pickles and tomato slices. Spread barbecue sauce and mayonnaise over top halves of rolls. Assemble and serve.
