Ground Beef and Portobello Sourdough Melt
Print RecipeIngredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 2 large portobello mushrooms finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 5 tablespoons breadcrumbs
- 1/3 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme chopped
- 6 slices sourdough bread
- 1/3 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 12 teaspoons pickle relish
- 6 slices of your favorite cheese
- garlic butter
Instructions
1. Preheat your grill or broiler and lay some foil down on a baking tray.
2. Mix together the ground beef, breadcrumbs, Portobello mushrooms, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, pepper and salt. Separate the mixture to create 6 flat patties and lay them on the foil. Cook the patties – you’ll probably need around 5 minutes on each side.
3. While your patties are cooking, toast your bread, then spread a small amount of garlic butter on each piece. If you don’t have garlic butter, you can rub some garlic on each piece of toast.
4. Place each patty on a piece of toast. Add 2 teaspoons of your pickle relish to the top and cover with a slice of cheese. Remove the foil from the tray. If there is a lot of juice on the tray, feel free to use another one. Otherwise, place your sandwiches on the tray and place them under the grill until the cheese is melted.
Options:
- You can add a thin slice of pineapple under the cheese.
- You can spice the relish up with some chilis.
- Avocado/guacamole also works well under the cheese.
- Fry up some onions and have them either on the burger or on the side.
