Cheesesteak Burger

I had some that wanted burgers, while others wanted cheesesteak sandwiches; I figured why not combine to the two for something tasty and amazing.  I will admit that I am not a huge fan of hamburgers, so when they get made, they have to be amazing or I wont enjoy them. This was a nice spin on two classics that taste absolutely amazing. This recipe can be made gluten free as well. I used provolone cheese, but these are amazing with muenster as well.

 

Ingredients:

Burger:

2 lb. 80/20 Ground Beef

3 T Soy Sauce

2 T Worcestershire Sauce

1T Spicy Mustard

1 Egg

1 tsp. Paprika

3/4 tsp. Onion Powder

1/2 tsp. Celery Seed

1/3 C Panko Bread Crumbs (use GF if needed , may need more if using)

Seasoning Salt and Pepper to taste

For serving: buns, lettuce, tomato, provolone cheese

Bell Pepper/Onion:

2T Butter

1 Green and Red Bell Pepper, sliced thin

1 Sweet Onion, sliced thin

Salt and Pepper

Mushrooms:

3 T Olive Oil

dash Worcestershire Sauce

6 oz. Large Portobello Mushroom Heads, sliced thin

Salt and Pepper

Directions:

Burger:

-Combine all wet ingredients with spices, whisk to combine well. Add meat to large bowl, mix in wet ingredient/spice mix, add in egg and bread crumb. Mix to combine, but don’t over mix or it will break down ground beef.  Cover with saran wrap and place in fridge 1 hour to over night.

-Form patties to size of choice and cook as you wish.

Peppers/Onion:

-In skillet over medium heat, heat butter, add in peppers, season with salt and pepper.  Cook 5 minutes, remove and set aside.

Mushrooms:

-In skillet over low to medium low heat, heat oil, add in Worcestershire sauce and mushrooms, toss to coat, season with salt and pepper.  Cook 3 minutes.

Serving:

-I suggest toasting bun, serve cooked peppers on bottom then burger and other ingredients (lettuce, tomato), top with mushrooms and serve. Enjoy!
