Blending finely chopped mushrooms and lean ground beef give burgers an incredible texture and flavour. Even the biggest meat lover will be asking for seconds.

- 1/4 tsp dried minced garlic
- 1/4 tsp dried minced onion
- 1 tsp salt
- 6 slices of Cheddar cheese
- 6 hamburger buns
- Traditional toppings such as lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, ketchup and mustard
Instructions
- Place the mushrooms and oats in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade. Pulse until finely chopped.
