Thanks again to Blue Cattle Truck Trading Co.Mexican Vanilla.
Now for a really good burger! I don’t eat meat, but I do enjoy portobello burgers! They are thick, juicy, and delicious. We brushed our mushrooms with balsamic vinegar and grilled them to perfection. We used whole wheat buns and topped our burgers with roasted red peppers, onions, spinach, mozzarella cheese, spicy mustard, and tomato slices.
I could eat these burgers every day. Get wild and crazy and add whatever toppings you like. Sometimes I like to add pesto or use different cheeses. With the portobello as the base, you can’t go wrong!
2 large portobello mushrooms, stems and gills removed
Balsamic vinegar
2 whole wheat buns
Roasted red peppers
Grilled onions
Spinach leaves
Mozzarella cheese
Spicy mustard
Tomato slices
1. Heat the grill or grill pan if doing it inside. Brush the mushrooms with balsamic vinegar.
2. Cook both sides until tender and juicy.
3. Toast the whole wheat buns.
4. Place the mushroom on the bun, top with cheese, red peppers, onions, spinach, mustard, and tomato slices.

I LOVE portobello burgers, I don’t miss the meat at all when I eat them.
Portabelloa will never replace a real burger but they are still damn good!
congrats to the winneR! 😀 Portobello burger looks great!
I too love portabello mushrooms and those burgers look good!
Congrats! Delicious burger! Love portobellos…
I have to admit, although I LOVE portabellos… I’m not a big fan of the portabello burger… but after seeing yours, I just might have to give them another try!
hey! I haven’t mentioned what kind of car he got on the blog- he got an Acura TL type S. Its used but looks brand new! Very nice 🙂
Delicious looking burger. Inspiring me to make some veggie burgers today along with a few of these.
I am such a fan of portobello burgers, perfect for when you’re craving a real burger but don’t want the fat 🙂
I love your blog because half of the people in my family don’t eat meat, and you always have WONDERFUL ideas! This looks just as good (dare say, better) then a regular hamburger! Mmmmm
AMAAAAZING burger!!
YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m sooooo excited!!!
The portobello burger sounds wonderful. These mushrooms are my favorite to cook with!
Congrats to the winner. I’m looking forward to warmer weather this weekend and possibly this delicious looking burger!
I am an omnivore, but I think that portobellos can hold their own against any meat out there, especially when prepared the right way. I am still dreaming about your stuffed portobellos you posted (making those this weekend!) but these burgers are definitely next on my portobello dinner list!
You know I finally need to make these burgers, everyone raves about them and now you too.
I have never tried one, but often eye them at whole foods–they are huge!
This is a delicious burger…I love all the flavors. Congrats to the winner of the vanilla.
Thanks everyone! If you haven’t tried a portobello burger, just do it! They are so good..and easy, and healthy!!
I wish my hubby would go for this, but he would keep asking where the meat was! I, on the other hand would love this…it looks so hearty!
A big congratulations to the winner!
I would love to come over and eat with you on any given day. These burgers look amazing!
Congrats to the winner! Wish I could eat this burger for lunch today!
Wow that looks so super super super yummy delicious.

This burger is terrific! Congrats to the winner!

How am I the THIRD leslie to comment on your blog?? 🙂
while this recipe would certainly not fly in my household, i am certain there will be strong attempts at duplication next time i’m home alone!! had a bowlful of grilled brussel sprouts with grated romano last night. can you tell someone was out of town??
Congrats to Culinarywannabe!
I had a very small lunch and your burger is making me really hungry! *drool* I think I will go to the vending machine now and get me a bag of chips.
Oooh! That does look like a real burger and so yummy!
now i’m craving a burger 🙂
I LOVE vege “substitutes” that I sometimes even prefer to the thing they’re supposed to be subbing for. Portobello mushroom burgers are way, way up there in my list. Looks fab! 🙂
These look delicious. I’m a lover of portobello burgers and always appreciate a new recipe.
i do get tired of seeing the mushrooms used in lieu of a bun, so kudos to you for finally uniting portobellos and bread! 🙂
Wow, is it just me, or do your burgers look incredible?! Yummmm.
That looks so good!
I absolutely love portabello mushrooms burgers. So good. Haven’t had one in a while and yours would be perfect right now!
mmm. i am not a mushroom person, but i love the roasted red peppers on there. this sounds so flavorful!
It looks like a regular burger with those grill marks. I’ve never tried one but I want to! It looks really good!
Even though I am a meat eater I am not big into beef burgers so I would really enjoy this!!!!!
I am not a fan of the mushroom but OMG my husband is, I think he would be all over this burger like white on rice…
Brilliant! Do you not need to season the mushrooms with salt and pepper?
Wow… yummy… I’m sold!
Congrats to the winner! Great burger but being a meat eater I just couldn’t envisage a burger without meat, hehehe!

Congrats to the winner, and I love your portobello mushroom burgers!
Portobello mushroom burgers remind me of high school. I was a waitress during the summer and I’d always ask the chefs to make me one on my lunch break. Yum!
I prefer portabello mushroom bugers to the meat version. These look super.
I actually prefer portabello burgers to the meat version. These look scrummy.
Whoops a daisy, I ended up posting the same thing twice because I realised I was on the wrong blog addy, sorry!
I'm making mine (as googling for recipes) with a little marinade of balsalmic vinegar, olive oil, a little water, pepper, cayenne pepper. I'm going to grill yellow squash too. Putting them on a fancy bun with goat cheese spread and roasted marinated tomatoes. Maybe some lettuce. Wish I had thought of making foccacia bread last night. That would be even better.
I really like your website Maria and have enjoyed making many of the excellent recipes you’ve included on it. One thing I don’t like are all the comments from people who haven’t even made the dishes. It’s sort of annoying when I search for reviews and see that many of comments say something like “Mmmmm I’ll make these soon!”.
