Mushroom Stuffed Burgers

Submitted by SkinnyMinnie

"If you are a mushroom lover (like me), and want a robust mushroom flavor, use a full-flavored wild mushroom like morels or porcinis. Other mushrooms (crimini, portobello, shitake, or even button) will work, just make sure you remove the tough stems before chopping. From Cooking Pleasures magazine."

5 star burger all the way - GREAT flavor - I loved it. I used cheddar cheese (no swiss at home) and I took a shortcut. I didn't pan fry the mushrooms and garlic.I added them raw to the center of the burger along with a wee pat of butter.Everything cooked perfectley. The Mayonnaise is a real flavor booster. I found I cut back on the salt because the Soy sauce was salty enough for me (I use very little salt) Thanks SkinnyMinnie for this super burger

Outstanding burgers! the flavor was great. I used Mozzerella sliced cheese in place of Swiss only because thats what I had on hand. These burgers were easy to make and very good. A recipe I highly recommend if your love mushrooms. Thanks so much for sharing this great recipe.
