This is one of the rare Hungry Girl recipes that actually calls for ground beef. Usually, HG seems to use lean or extra-lean ground turkey in her recipes. Since I don't eat red meat, I made these patties with lean ground turkey, which has similar stats to the extra lean ground beef (just a tad more calories and fat). The main reason I picked this recipe is because my husband loves mushrooms and cheese. What could be better than a cheese and mushroom-filled burger?
To save time, and from having to flip the burger patty, I cooked mine on my George Foreman Grill. I had quadrupled the recipe, and actually made four patties. Although the cheese didn't necessarily ooze out of the burgers, you can visibly see the cheese trying to escape out of the patty in the picture above. I tried my best to completely enclose the cheese into the meat, but it was just a little difficult to do.
The good thing, though, was that there was a fairly large amount of cheese. A whole laughing cow cheese wedge in the middle of a burger patty is a good amount to make it nice and cheesy. The mushrooms and other seasonings made this burger have a yummy flavor. Everyone in my family enjoyed these, and I would consider making them again. Maybe next time I can perfect the art of completely enclosing the cheese in the middle!
Looks good. I will try this one for my hubby. Thanks..
