Equipment

Ingredients

1 pound ground beef 85% or leaner, grassfed (recipe would also be great with elk)
6 large mushrooms (button or baby bella, stems removed and dirt brushed off)
2 slices cooked bacon chopped (can use more bacon if preferred)
2 tablespoons butter Kerrygold recommended
1 teaspoon dry rub seasoning use your favorite dry rub or replace with kosher salt
1 teaspoon pepper freshly ground

Instructions

Form the burger patties:

Preheat griddle to medium high heat.
Run 6 large mushrooms through food processor until they are finely ground and resemble ground beef.
Combine ground mushrooms with 1 pound ground beef. Divide into four equal portions.
Using a burger press (highly recommended, but you can also form burger patties by hand), press half of the amount for one burger patty into the bottom. Add about a quarter of the 2 slices cooked bacon and a quarter of the 2 tablespoons butter to the center of the patty. Top with the remaining ground beef mushroom mixture. Press to form patty. Transfer to a cutting board. Continue with remaining ingredients until you have four patties.
Combine 1 teaspoon dry rub seasoning and 1 teaspoon pepper. Sprinkle half of this mixture on top of the formed burger patties. Use a spatula to turn them over and add the seasonings to the other side of the patties.

Cook the burgers:

Add the burgers to the preheated griddle. Cook until the bottoms start to brown. This should take about 5 minutes. Flip.
If adding cheese, place the slices on top of the burgers now. Loosely tent with foil if cheese needs help melting.
Cook until the bottoms of the burgers have browned and the internal temperature of the burger is about 155-160°F.
Serve with a soft bun and your favorite toppings.
