Beyond Meat Burger with Balsamic Portabello Mushroom

I realized that I don’t have a lot of vegetarian friendly recipes up yet, so I decided to try out a vegetarian burger recipe today! Okay, first of all, it was a huge struggle to take a picture of all the layers of this burger. I ended up having to bite into it and ended up scarfing down the whole burger by the time I finished taking these photos. Point is, this burger is a bit messy, but SUPER DELICIOUS.

Getting back to the dish, I was worried about the patty not being juicy enough so I decided to amp it up by adding a grilled portabello mushroom to the mix! The flavorful mushroom, with the gooey cheese, sautéed onions and my secret sauce makes for a vurger that makes me not miss the meat.

I decided to just keep this dish vegetarian and used smoked cheddar cheese and a brioche bun, but with some simple adjustments this burger could definitely be made vegan! Give it a try and let me know what you think in the comments below!
