FRESH MUSHROOM BLEND RECIPES

This is a spin off of the original blended burger recipe--the first blended recipe was created by the Mushroom Council and a host of esteemed culinary experts.

“Slide over those sliders!” These mini burgers are easy to eat in a few bites— and you can indulge without guilt, as this blended recipe helps to cut the calories and fat of traditional patties. The secret is mixing one pound of beef with one pound of mushrooms, for that full feeling, with less meat. The pop of fresh thyme and crisp red onion inside the burgers give each patty extra flavor, while the optional garnishes complete the jam.

Once you try this delicious, better-for-you slider, with one simple ingredient added – mushrooms -- we are convinced it will make you a Blenditarian.
