#burgermonth: Mushroom Cheddar Burger

When friends had to cancel our beach cookout this weekend, I had extra meat for burgers this week. My boys never complain about grilled burgers. Instead of making more Bulgogi-Spiced Burgers with Mango Mustard Kimchi, which was my post for #burgermonth, I went for a plainer - but still delicious - burger. Think of it as a #burgermonth bonus!


Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef (we choose organic + grassfed)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 C shredded cheddar cheese
  • freshly ground salt
  • freshly ground pepper
  • 1 T minced garlic
  • 2 C sliced crimini mushrooms
  • pat of butter
  • buns
  • sliced cheese (I had some provolone)
  • lettuce
  • tomatoes, sliced


Procedure
About an hour before you plan on grilling, mix the first six ingredients together in a mixing bowl until well combined. Divide into 4 pieces and press into patties. Season with more salt and pepper. Let stand for at least 30 minutes, or an hour if you can.

Prepare grill. While the burgers are grilling, saute the mushrooms in a pat of butter until they are nicely browned and softened but still holding their shape. Serve the burgers with buns, cheese, lettuce, tomato, and other condiments, if desired. Our were delicious with just the mushrooms for added flavor! Enjoy.

This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy.  Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities. Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found." Read her invitation here. And there won't be a Twitter chat for this event, so you will have to dive into the articles themselves to read about our pairings and findings. Here's the line-up...

You're Invited: Take a (Virtual) Hawaiian Holiday with #FoodNFlix

Fall Break, Oahu, October 2017 For June, I am hosting  Food'N'Flix , the movie-watching, food-making group rallied by Heather of  All Roads Lead to the Kitchen . This week, my older son was supposed to graduate from high school and we were supposed to leave on a family vacation to the Big Island. But, as enter our eleventh week of being sheltered in place to flatten the curve of the coronavirus, all of our summer plans were canceled, including this long-planned graduation trip to Hawaii. Boo. I understand the need to self-isolate. And we are abiding by the social distancing guidelines put in place by our state. But, boo, nonetheless. Oahu, October 2017 So for this month's Food'N'Flix, I chose to open up the field and let all of the food bloggers take a (virtual) Hawaiian holiday.  My boys have been to Oahu several times with my parents in recent years as my dad grew up there and wanted to spend some time on the island with his grandsons.
