Stuffed Mushroom Cheddar Burgers
"When I have time I love to do something a little more special than a plain old hamburger, and nothing is cooler than an inside-out burger where the toppings are on the inside. They're really so easy to make . I like these just as-is on a soft bun and I'll admit I sometimes even substitute Swiss cheese as this is also a great combo with mushrooms. Also check these fab custom toppings for burgers when catsup and mustard just don't cut it -
CHEDDAR & CHILE SPREAD: Combine 1 cup of grated cheddar with a can of diced green chiles. Stir in enough hot beer to make a smooth, thick
spread (start with 2 Tbs, adding more a tablespoon at a time.) EVEN HOTTER VARIATION: substitute chopped, diced jalapeno slices, or cayenne pepper JACK VARIATION: substitute Jack cheese and add diced onion. GORGONZOLA VARIATION: use crumbled Gorgonzola in place of the cheddar and add some minced garlic and freshly ground pepper. SPECIAL SAUCE: Start with about 1/2 cup mayonnaise. Add a tablespoon each of the following: mustard, relish, ketchup. Add Worcestershire sauce and Tabasco to taste. Season with salt and pepper to taste."

I didn't start cooking until my early 20's, even though I come from a family of accomplished and admired home cooks. While I grew up watching my Italian grandmother in the kitchen, I remained uninterested in trying anything on my own. As a young lady, I was known for being particularly ignorant in the kitchen, with no idea how to even make a hot dog! All this changed, however, when I got engaged. I realized it was time to let my inherent talents out of the bag. At the time, the New York Times had a weekly column called The 60-Minute Gourmet by Pierre Franey. Each week, I would follow these recipes diligently, and taught myself to cook that way. From there, I began to read cookbooks and consult with relatives on family recipes. At my ripe old age now, I feel I know enough to put together a very pleasing meal and have become accomplished in my own right. Having an Irish father and an Italian mother, I'm glad I inherited the cooking gene (and the drinking one too!). One thing I have learned is that simpler is always better! I always believe cooking fills a need to nurture and show love. After being widowed fairly young and living alone with my dog and cats, I stopped cooking for awhile, since I really had no one to cook for. I made care packages for my grown son occasionally, and like to cook weekly for my boyfriend, so I feel like I am truly back in the saddle!!
