This diner classic gets a makeover by replacing some of the ground beef with finely chopped portobello mushrooms, which add moisture and flavor. We like a smear of pickle relish on top, but you could try chutney, mustard or hot pepper relish in its place.

These were delicious and my whole family even the 4 year old and 1 year old loved them. I added a little sliced sweet onion on top of the burger instead of the relish. Yummy! Read More

Pros: juicy flavorful filling meaty Read More

These are delicious! I think I put a little too much fresh Thyme in mine so watch for that. Also I agree with the PP I ended up with full and thick burgers so there was definitely enough meat mixture to make 5 patties. Excellent taste and even my PICKY toddler loved it!! Read More
