Ingredients
8 large portobello mushrooms
1 tsp olive oil
4 tbsp Tuscan Chicken Burger Seasoning or Burger Seasoning, divided
1 lb (450 g) extra-lean ground beef
1 egg
1⁄4 cup light cream cheese, softened
2 tbsp Big Burger Sauce Mix
4 cups mixed baby greens
Instructions
Lightly rinse and pat dry mushrooms. Remove stems, and scrape gills.
Brush both sides of mushrooms with oil; sprinkle with 2 tbsp Burger Seasoning. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat egg. Combine with beef and remaining seasoning and form into four patties.
Grill patties and mushrooms over medium-high heat with lid closed for 4 min each side, or until an instant-read thermometer indicates an internal temperature of 160° F for beef, and until mushrooms are tender.
In a small bowl, combine cream cheese with sauce mix.
Spread cream cheese over four of the mushroom “buns”; top each with a patty, greens, and remaining mushroom caps.
