Healthy Portobello Mushroom Burger

Have you ever had a portobello mushroom burger? If so, you probably know that it is SUPER delicious. If you haven't had the chance to try it yet, go ahead and scroll to the bottom of this post, print the recipe, and get on it right now! Because you're missing out big time, my friend.

Basically a mushroom burger is when you use a thick portobello mushroom instead of a patty. Genius right? 

If you know me, or follow my Instagram, you know how much I love my sandwiches/veggie burgers. #favoritefood

This portobello burger is pretty high up on the list of my favorite burger/sandwich combos. That may not mean much coming from a gal who loves pretty much all sandwiches. No discrimination here! 

But this burger really is magic.

For one, it's super filling. But also it tastes like a legit burger. The texture is awesome. It's hearty. It's flavorful. It's GOOD FOR YOU. 

Seriously, give this burger a shot for lunch or dinner sometime this week. You won't be disappointed! 

Thank you for stopping by and have an awesome day!
