#BurgerMonth #GirlCarnivore May 2016 It's Burger Month!

Let’s talk about these scrumptious mushrooms. For those of you who have been here with me the past few months, you know I’ve been on an uber health kick/lose-the-damn-baby-fat-from-17-years-ago, so I’ve been cutting calories like mad, reducing carbs and working out every day.

Turns out that my good old buddies the mushrooms that I’ve loved all my life are perfect for weight loss and cutting carbs. They contain lots of nutrients with almost no calories or carbs, so ‘shrooms can totally help with any weight loss (or weight maintenance) goals. Stuff your mushroom friends with high-protein, low fat meat and you have all the things that fitness people evangelize along with the burger heaven that you know you want.

So these little bites are mini low-cal, low-carb versions of those restaurant burgers that you crave. Just make sure to use low-fat meat–it’s even better if you use grass-fed beef or healthy lean wild game like venison, elk, buffalo or antelope. The kick from the chipotle adds just a bit of heat (unless you want to kick it up), enough to dance on your tongue. The mushrooms, the meat and the cheese all collaborate to hold in the juiciness and flavor.

To add even more deliciousness to this recipe, you may want to serve these little bites with Sriracha Ranch Salad Dressing. Oh yes … you’re going to love this. And don’t forget to SCROLL DOWN to WIN!

Bacon Chipotle Cheeseburger Stuffed Mushrooms

  • Prep Time: 20 minutes
  • Cook Time: 20 minutes
  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: About 15 stuffed mushrooms 1x

Ingredients

Scale

For the burger mixture:

  • 1/2 lb. lean ground beef (or other ground meat)
  • 1/3 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1 mini sweet pepper, chopped fine
  • 1 Tablespoon ketchup
  • 1 teaspoon chipotle powder (or more, if you want more heat)
  • 1 teaspoon Red Robin Seasoning (or your favorite seasoned salt)
  • 1 teaspoon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

For the rest:

  • 3 slices cooked bacon, cut into about 15 small pieces
  • About 15 baby bella mushrooms, stems removed
  • About 15 small square slices of chipotle cheddar cheese
  • About 15 small lettuce leaves
  • About 15 small wedges of avocado (optional)
  • About 15 cherry tomato halves

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 F. In a small mixing bowl, mix together all the ingredients for the burger mixture. The best way to do this is to use your hands to massage all the flavor into the meat.
  2. De-stem the mushrooms, setting aside the stems for another purpose. Stuff each mushroom liberally with the burger mixture. Set the mushrooms on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake at 400 F for about 10 minutes or until the burger is nicely browned. Meanwhile, cook the bacon.
  3. Top each mushroom with a small square of sliced cheese. Bake for 5 minutes more. At this point, you can store the mushrooms for later and reheat at serving time.
  4. At serving time, use a toothpick to secure a bit of lettuce, bacon, avocado and half of a cherry tomato to the top of each mini cheeseburger. Enjoy!
