There is nothing better than a good, grilled burger for a picnic. This one fills the bill, and it is especially good with its zesty pizza touch.Harriet Stichter, Milford, Indiana Ingredients:
1/2 cup sliced fresh mushrooms |
1/4 cup chopped onion |
1 garlic clove, minced |
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano |
1 cup crushed tomatoes, undrained |
burgers: |
1-1/2 cups finely chopped fresh mushrooms |
1/3 cup minced fresh basil |
1 egg white, lightly beaten |
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese |
2 tablespoons dry bread crumbs |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon pepper |
1 pound lean ground beef (90% lean) |
6 slices part-skim mozzarella cheese (3 ounces) |
6 hamburger buns, split and toasted |
Directions:
1. In a small skillet coated with cooking spray, saute mushrooms and onion for 3 minutes. Add garlic and oregano; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in tomatoes. Cook, uncovered, over medium-low heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Set aside and keep warm.
2. In a large bowl, combine the mushrooms, basil, egg white, Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, salt and pepper. Crumble beef over mixture; mix well. Shape into six patties.
3. Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack. Grill patties, covered, over medium-hot heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 4-5 minutes on each side or until a meat thermometer reads 160° and meat juices run clear. Top patties with cheese and tomato sauce. Serve over buns. Yield: 6 servings.
