I never had these burgers growing up because frankly, I hated mushrooms for a very long time.
Now that I’m older I LOVE da shroomies! But when I went looking for a clean eating version of this recipe, I was a little dismayed at the amount of fat a lot of recipes contained. So I trimmed down the fat and added my own combination of spices.
Pretty tasty if I do say so myself!

Munchkin Helpers:
If you have little ones, here’s how they can help (With close supervision, of course).
Kids can help spice the mushrooms and assemble the burgers. Just be sure the mushrooms have cooled before they handle them.
Caution: Any time a child is in the kitchen, they will require close supervision. Munchkin Helpers suggestions should be applied with common sense to your own child, taking their own capabilities into account. Do not assume that because it says here that your child can do something, that they can, in fact do it. Please use common sense when in the kitchen with your child(ren).
