Sourdough Cheeseburgers for 2

Submitted by Jellyqueen

"I got this recipe out of one of those little coupon booklets that come with some of the recipe magazines. Not sure which one, but probably TOH or QC. I added the mushroom, simply because we love them. As empty nesters, I am always on the lookout for recipes that are already geared toward two servings. This recipe was one of those."

DELICIOUS! Loved the sauce for these burgers. I used Recipe #78816 for our sourdough bread. This is a keeper! Thanks for sharing the recipe :)

Made this for dinner last night, with leftover Somersize whole wheat sourdough bread. It was delish. Didn't think I would like relish on it, but I could hardly taste it with the mayo and ketchup. I will make this again. Thanks for posting!

WOW is right. This was absolutely wonderful. The flavor of the sauted onions and mushrooms along with the sourdough bread is great. I used Cobblestone Mill San Francisco sourdough. I could only eat half of mine because it is very filling. Another great one JQ.

Terrific burgers. Toasted the bread under the broiler without butter but otherwise followed the recipe using fat free/reduced fat ingredients. Just delicious, Jellyqueen.

OMG & WOW!! I would give this 10 stars if I could! The flavors blended perfectly and the sourdough bread was a perfect complement. Buns just would not have been the same. I am SO glad I found this recipe!! We will definitely be having this again.
