    Let’s start with a confession, as I normally do. I never make Portabello burgers. Actually, I RARELY even buy Portabello mushrooms. They are just one of those things that won’t fly with husband or child so I don’t bother. But when I saw them at the store this weekend, I couldn’t resist. I’m home for lunches now so whipping myself up something is a possibility. So that’s exactly what I did.

    Honestly, the result was FANTASTIC and it literally took all of 20 minutes. I only made one but you could easily double, triple, or quadruple the recipe for your needs.

    Here’s what I did…

    Ingredients
      

    • 1 medium to large Portabello Mushroom
    • 1 teaspoon olive oil
    • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
    • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
    • ¼ teaspoon dried thyme
    • Pinch of kosher salt and pepper
    • Non-stick Cooking Spray
    • 1 slice of sweet onion chopped
    • ¼ of a large bell pepper chopped
    • ½ cup baby spinach chopped
    • ¾ oz of cheddar cheese

    Instructions
     

    • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees
    • In a bowl large enough to marinate the mushroom, mix the olive oil, vinegar, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper.
      1 medium to large Portabello Mushroom, 1 teaspoon olive oil, 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, ¼ teaspoon garlic powder, ¼ teaspoon dried thyme, Pinch of kosher salt and pepper, ¼ of a large bell pepper chopped
    • Wash the mushroom and remove the stem. You can also peel a few pieces away from the cap. This will help the marinade penetrate a little easier.

    • Coat the mushroom in the marinade and let it sit while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
    • Preheat a small skillet over medium-high heat and spray with non-stick cooking spray. Add the onion and let it scorch a little while cut the rest of the ingredients.
      Non-stick Cooking Spray, 1 slice of sweet onion chopped
    • Chop the stem of the mushroom, pepper, and spinach. Add the mushroom and peppers next. Again, cooking until just scorched. Finally, add the chopped spinach and cook until it wilts.
      ½ cup baby spinach chopped
    • Remove the mushroom from the marinade and place upside down on a cookie sheet lined with aluminum foil.
    • Dice up the cheddar cheese and add it to the bowl with the marinade. Add the cooked the veggies from the skillet. Mix to make the filling.
      ¾ oz of cheddar cheese
    • Pile the filling onto the mushroom cap.
    • Bake for 10-12 minutes until the cheese is oozing and just starting to brown.

    Notes

    • Put this burger on your favorite whole wheat bun or thin. Add a squirt of ketchup and dig in! This TOTALLY cured my hamburger craving. It was meaty, flavorful and delicious!
    • Nutritional info is just for the stuffed Portabello. This way you can add your bun of choice if any.
