"I found this on RecipeGirl.com. She says these are so meaty and juicy, you'd swear they were made with beef. I haven't tried this yet but will when I buy more portobello's."

Fantastic! This was really easy and very good. My carniverous father in law didn't even know they were veggie burgers until I told him. I might try some different seasoning the next time, but all in all, they were great. Also, very filling. I served them with fresh sliced roma tomatoes and french fries, it was a great meal. Thank you so much for posting this. We will use this recipe again for sure.
