Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
Servings: 4 burgers
Ingredients:
- 4 large portobello mushroom caps
- 1 pound ground beef
- Uncle Dibbz Texas Steak Rub, to taste
- Cheese slices, optional
- Burger toppings of your choice, such as lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, or sugar free sauce
Instructions:
- Preheat your grill to medium high heat.
- Clean the portobello mushroom caps and remove the stems. Pat them dry with a paper towel so they grill instead of steam.
- Season the mushroom caps on both sides with Uncle Dibbz Texas Steak Rub.
- Place the seasoned mushroom caps on the grill and cook for 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until tender with grill marks. Remove from the grill and set aside.
- Add the ground beef to a bowl and season with a generous amount of Uncle Dibbz Texas Steak Rub. Mix gently until the seasoning is evenly worked into the meat.
- Divide the beef into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty that matches the size of the mushroom caps.
- Grill the beef patties for 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until they reach your preferred doneness.
- If using cheese, add one slice to each patty during the last minute of cooking and let it melt.
- Assemble each burger by placing one grilled mushroom cap on the bottom, adding the beef patty, then layering on your toppings.
- Top each burger with another grilled mushroom cap and serve immediately.
Notes:
For best results, choose large portobello mushroom caps that are close in size. You can also scrape out the gills with a spoon if you want a cleaner look and less moisture.
