Super Burgers

Ingredients

• 1 (6 oz) package sliced fresh portabella mushrooms
• Cooking spray
• 1 lb organic, grass-fed ground beef
• 1 ½ cups shredded Mexican-style cheese blend, divided
• 6 tablespoons ranch dressing
• 4 whole wheat hamburger buns

Steps

1. Preheat grill (or grill pan) on medium-high. Place mushrooms in medium bowl; coat with spray. Place beef and ½ cup cheese in second medium bowl; mix until just blended, then form into 4 patties (wash hands).
2. Grill mushrooms 3–4 minutes, turning once, until grill marked and slightly charred; transfer to cutting board. Place burgers on grill; grill 3–4 minutes, then flip burgers and top with remaining 1 cup cheese. Grill 4–5 more minutes until cheese melts and meat is 160°F.
3. Chop mushrooms coarsely; toss with 2 tablespoons dressing. Spread remaining 4 tablespoons dressing evenly on bottom halves of buns; place burgers on buns. Top each burger with ¼ cup mushroom mixture and top half of bun. Serve.
