Ingredients
-
2 tablespoons olive oil
-
1 tablespoon butter
-
1/2 pound mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
-
1/4 teaspoon kosher or coarse salt

1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper

2 pounds extra-lean ground beef

Latino Barbecue Catsup (see recipe below)
-
4 large buns, split
Directions
1.
Heat oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, kosher salt, and pepper. Cook for 3 minutes or until mushrooms are just tender. Add vinegar. Cook and stir for 2 minutes or until most of liquid has evaporated. Set aside.
2.
Shape beef into 8 thin patties 3-1/2 to 4 inches in diameter. Place 1/4 of the mushroom mixture in center of 4 of the patties. Top with remaining patties. Pinch together edges of each double patty, making sure all edges are well-sealed.
3.
Place burgers on the lightly oiled rack of the grill directly over medium heat. Grill for 12 minutes; turn. Brush burgers with 1/4 cup of the Latino Barbecue Catsup. Grill 12 to 14 minutes more or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 160 degree F. Toast buns on grill, if desired. To serve, place the burgers on the buns. Pass remaining Latino Barbecue Catsup. Makes 4 burgers.
