Hey Foodie Friends,

Kat here! You may remember my recipe for Skillet Sprouts with Cranberries & Pecans. Today, I'm going to tell you how to make my Portabella Burgers with Chipotle Cheddar Mayo, Red Peppers, & Arugula!

These juicy portabella “cheeseburgers” are so delicious they'll have you begging for seconds!

Here's what you'll need...

 

Ingredients: (Recipe makes 4 burgers)

1 Tbsp olive oil
4 large portabella caps
1 Tbsp garlic, minced
1/4 cup Cheddar cheese (I used reduced fat)
3 Tbsp chipotle mayo (I used reduced fat)
4 rolls (pick your favorite!)
2 cups arugula
1/2 cup bottled red peppers (or you could snag a container from your grocer’s salad bar like I did)
Salt and pepper

Directions:

1. Prepare the portabella caps by washing & drying them. After they're dry, season each side of the portabella with salt and pepper.

2. Next, drizzle in the olive oil in large skillet and cook over medium heat.

3. Once the skillet is warm, place the portabellas in the pan and sauté for 4-5 minutes on each side. (You'll be able to tell if they're done when they are nice and tender.)

4. When your portabellas are tender, add 1 Tbsp of minced garlic to the pan and sauté for an additional 30-60 seconds. Then remove the pan from the heat.

(Note: If you can only fit 2 mushrooms in the skillet at a time, add only a 1/2 Tbsp of minced garlic for each pair of mushrooms.)

5. Now, to make your mayonnaise, combine the chipotle mayo with the cheese in a small bowl and stir.

6. Cut the rolls and spread the mayonnaise mixture on the bottom of each roll.

7. Now, to put it all together, top each of the buns with a portabella, a 1/2 cup of arugula, and 2 Tbsp of red peppers.

Now it’s time to dig in! Thanks for cooking with me and please, please, please let me know what you think of these recipes. Also, if you'd like to see any other specific types of recipes in the future, just let me know!

Until next time, cheers to you my Foodie Friends!
