Mushroom Beef Burger With Caramelized Onions

Instructions

1. Start by wiping the mushrooms with a paper towel to remove any dirt. Cut off part of the stem and then slice the mushroom in half. Add all the mushrooms to a food processor and pulse until the texture is very finely chopped.
2. Preheat a large frypan over medium-high heat. Put about 1 to 2 tablespoons of olive oil, let it heat up for 30 seconds, and add the onion and mushrooms. Saute for 15 minutes, turning the heat down to medium-low after 3 or 4 minutes. Stir frequently.
3. Let the onion/mushroom mixture cool before continuing.
4. In a large bowl, add the following: the cooled onion mixture, sriracha sauce, BBQ sauce, garlic powder and salt. Mix this until well combined.
5. Next, add the hamburger by dropping it in 1-inch size chunks. This will make it easier to mix the ingredients together without over mixing the beef.
6. Form 4 hamburger patties and press a dent in the centre of each burger about 1 inch in diameter. This will help your burger cook up with a flat top making it easier for those condiments to stay on top.
7. Preheat a grill pan to medium-high heat. Place the patties on the grill and season with a little more salt and garlic powder. Cook the burger for about 3 minutes per side before flipping over. I like to place a lid as per the video to help cook the burger.
8. Use an instant-read thermometer to know the internal temperature of your burger. A 160-degree Fahrenheit reading is done. I like to take them off the grill at just under 160 degrees Fahrenheit because they will continue to cook as the burger cools for a couple of minutes.
9. If you add cheese to your burger, you will want to do so during the last minute or two of cooking.
10. I also like to toast up my bread or buns. I like to place a bit of butter on each half of the buns, which adds a nice flavour to your burger.
11. Ready to put it all together? Place that juicy burger on a toasted bun, add the pattie and top it with some sliced tomato, avocado and whatever else pleases you!
12. Enjoy!
