Servings 4

Ingredients
  

Burger patties

  • 500 g ground beef
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise I used Hellmann's
  • 1/4 cup bread crumbs
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 & 1/2 tsp old bay seasoning
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt if needed and pepper to taste

Portobello buns

  • 8 large caps of portobello mushroom
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil to brush on mushrooms

Burger Toppings

  • 1 to mato sliced
  • Butterhead lettuce
  • 8 slices of bacon
  • Red onion rings separated
  • 4 slices of cheddar cheese

Instructions
 

Burger Toppings

  • Place bacon strips on a lined baking tray.
  • Turn the oven on and set to 200C. Do not wait for the oven to preheat.
  • Place tray in oven, bake for 18-20 minutes or until crisp.
  • Prepare all other burger toppings and set aside.

Burger patties

  • Mix all the ingredients together and divide meat mixture into 4 patties.
  • Shape into patties, flatten and even out the thickness.
  • Then using your finger or thumb, make an indentation in the middle of the patty.
  • The patty will puff up when cooking so this helps to offset the 'dome' and helps the burger to cook more evenly.
  • Cook on grill or lightly greased grill pan, at medium heat 4-6 minutes each side.

Portobello buns

  • Clean mushrooms with damp kitchen towel. Do not wash!
  • Remove stems of mushroom if any.
  • Prepare portobello by using a spoon to scrape off the grills on the underside of the mushroom.
  • Brush on olive oil on both sides of the mushroom, and season with salt and pepper.
  • Grill portobello bottom side down for about 5 minutes, then turn over to grill for additional 3-5 minutes.
  • Build your burger!

Notes

You can substitute portobello buns with regular sesame seeds bun.
If your portobello mushrooms are smaller, make smaller patties to build sliders.
