Thank you, Darcie Baxter, for this recipe! This burger won the top prize in the Art of the Burger social media contest, so it’s one you won’t want to miss! “Mmmm” stands for “Maple Miso Mozza Mushroom”; in other words, all the good stuff. Recruit some little chefs to help prep the toppings and you’ll all be saying “mmmm” in no time. Congratulations, Darcie!

Ingredients

  • 1 egg
  • 1 lb (450 g) lean ground beef
  • 2 1⁄2 tbsp Maple Miso Marinade Mix, divided
  • 4 slices mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 1⁄2 tbsp oil + more for brushing
  • Maple syrup, to taste
  • 1⁄4 large onion, optional
  • 4 slices maple bacon
  • 4 burger buns
  • 1⁄4 cup prepared Roasted Garlic Aioli
  • 1 tbsp Roasted Garlic Aioli Mix
  • 1 cup light mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp lemon juice, optional
  • 2 tbsp BBQ sauce

Preparation

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Lightly brush with oil to prevent sticking.
  2. In a large bowl, combine egg, beef, and 2 tbsp marinade mix. Using 3-in-1 Burger Press, form into 4 patties.
  3. Grill patties, with lid closed, 4–5 min per side, or until cooked. Add 1 cheese slice to each patty for final minute of cooking to melt.
  4. Meanwhile, toss mushrooms with remaining 1⁄2 tbsp marinade mix and oil. Lay out a 12" piece of aluminum foil and place mushrooms in the centre. Place a 6" piece of foil overtop. Roll up edges of the bottom piece of foil and fold over the top piece to form a packet.
  5. Place packet on the grill. Grill with lid closed 8 min, or until mushrooms are tender. Transfer grilled mushrooms to a bowl and toss with maple syrup.
  6. If using, slice onion into rounds and lightly brush with oil. Grill 3–4 min per side, or until tender.
  7. Place bacon in a single layer over tray in Multipurpose Steamer. Cover and microwave on high 4–5 min, or until crispy.
  8. Slice and toast buns, if desired. Spread aioli and BBQ sauce on top and bottom buns. Place patties on bottom buns; top with mushrooms, onion rings (if using), and bacon.
