    huh! I’ve never put anything in a meat/beef burger. maybe because my husband’s the big meat eater, and he’s a purist when it comes to his burger. But I do put lots of goodies in meat loaf. And next time I’ll use your ideas!

    Can’t wait to try it, Inger. The Shorewood Farmers market in summer had a great mushroom grower but I haven’t seen him this summer. I will ask to see if he is still selling.

    I normally put mushrooms and onions on top, but mixed in sounds fabulous. Such a simple idea that adds so much flavor and texture to the burger itself.

      That’s lucky Terri. I get them at the winter farmer’s market but my summer market doesn’t have a grower 🙁

    What a wonderful idea to incorporate the mushrooms right into the patty. Not only do you get the benefits of mushrooms but you need less meat as well.
