CHEESEBURGER STUFFED MUSHROOMS

With all this warm weather I'm soooo looking forward to the summer cookouts we have every year, and with our new apartment having a backyard this will definitely not be the first grilling recipe I share.

Prep 5m Cook 20m

Ingredients:

24 baby Bella mushrooms
2 tbsp butter
½ lb lean ground beef
1 shallot, diced
2 tbsp cream cheese
½ tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp ketchup
1 tsp mustard
3 slices cheddar cheese, cut into small squares
4-5 cherry tomatoes, sliced
2 tbsp lettuce, thinly shredded
Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions:

Clean mushrooms and remove stems. Dice the stems and set aside. Melt butter in a pan and cook mushroom caps on both sides for 2-3 minutes. Remove from pan and place stem side up in a baking dish.

Preheat oven to 350F. In the same pan, brown the beef and stir in shallots and mushroom stems to soften. Then mix in the cream cheese. Season with Worcestershire, ketchup, mustard, salt, and pepper.

Fill each mushroom cap with the burger mixture and bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and top with sliced cheese. Bake for another 10 minutes, or until the cheese has melted.

Serve with shredded lettuce and sliced tomato on top.
