Portobello mushrooms are a great meat substitute. It's healthier for you and they're packed with nutritious benefits that you won't find in your ordinary burger.
Mushrooms are one of the few natural sources of vitamin D. Plus contain vitamin B and fiber.
Studies have even shown eating one mushroom a day (even a small white button mushroom) helps to decrease risks of certain cancers.
This mushroom burger can be cooked on the stove or grill.
Having a good marinade is important to making the mushroom taste good.
I like to top it with this Feta. It not only bumps of the flavors but also the protein.
When I'm craving a hamburger at home this is one of my go-to recipes.
