Burger Recipe ~ Mushroom-Lentil Burgers

Mushrooms and lentils come together for a veggie burger worth making! The mushrooms yield a beefy flavor but I like to kick it up a notch by mixing steak sauce with mayo to slather on the bun for extra "beefy" flavor.

Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked brown lentils
• 1 (6 ounce) package sliced fresh mushrooms
• 1 tablespoon spicy brown mustard
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
• ¾ cup dry bread crumbs
• 1 large egg, beaten
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Cooking Directions

1. Combine lentils, mushrooms, mustard, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper in a food processor; pulse to combine.
2. Transfer mixture to a large bowl. Add bread crumbs and egg; mix until evenly combined. Shape mixture into 6 equal-sized patties.
3. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place half of the patties in the skillet and cook for 5 minutes. Carefully flip and cook for 5 minutes more. Repeat with remaining patties.
