Evelyn's Kitchen

Yes, self-promoting my own Mushroom Burger. Had the craving but didn't feel like venturing out to a diner or restaurant, so purchased some ground chuck and made it myself. Sliced up the onion very thin and sauted in about 3 tablespoons of butter. When they had softened a bit, I added in the sliced mushrooms and let them cook. I only had swiss cheese in the house, so I made due. I prefer a nice cheddar or even american, but the swiss worked out fine. Made 2 burgers, about a half pound each. One was for my husband.

The burger was cooked to perfection for me, but husband wished his had been a little more rare. Because I used ground chuck, the burger was oh so juicy. I know it's healthier to eat a leaner cut of meat, but I so hate a hamburger made with lean meat - they are just plain dry and not good. I like it juicy.

I added mustard to my burger, and got the normal "look" from my husband - he still doesn't get it after all these years.

All in all - this is my favorite burger place.

I met my friend, Debora, for lunch today, and decided it was time to start my Burger Blog. Here is my first review:

Cooked to Order: I was asked how I wanted my burger cooked, and I requested Medium. The burger was cooked as requested, a hint of pink on the inside, the way I like it.

Juicy: This burger was very juicy.

Flavor: Excellent - tasted like it had been cooked on a charcoal grill.

Fried Onions & Mushrooms: Nicely sauted, good flavor. Could not keep them all on the burger.

Mustard: Requested mustard and Gulden's was served. No comment or facial expression noted when request was made.

Overall, a great burger. I would order this menu item again.

I give this a 3 Burger Rating
