Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 8 strips thinly sliced bacon
- 4 portabello mushroom
- 4 slice cheddar cheese (1 1/2 ounces each)
- 4 Tablespoons Barbecue Sauce
- 1 recipe Guacamole
Instructions
- Form the ground beef into 4 equal burger patties about 1 1/2 inches thick, and wrap each burger with 2 strips of bacon.
- Remove the stems from the mushrooms, and scrape out the gills with a spoon.
- Preheat the grill on high and cut 4 slices of cheddar, about 1 1/2 ounces each.
- Place the mushrooms and bacon wrapped patties on the grill and brush the burgers with half of the barbecue sauce.
- Lower the heat to medium high and cook for 6-8 minutes depending on the thickness of your patties. Turn the burgers, brush with the remaining barbecue sauce, and top with the cheese slices.
- If the mushrooms are tender and soft, remove to a platter and keep them warm while the burgers finish cooking. Thicker mushrooms will need to keep cooking with the burgers.
- Cook the burgers another 6-8 minutes, or until done for thicker burgers.
- Place the mushrooms on a platter and stack the burgers on top.
- Serve immediately with Guacamole, lettuce, and tomato.
Notes
Portabello mushrooms vary greatly in size. For this recipe, I use mushrooms that were about 5 inches in diameter.
