SMOKY PORTABELLA BURGER WITH SUN-DRIED TOMATOES AND BASIL
A delicious burger recipe that I got from a friend! The smoked cheese really gives it a nice flavor - I know it can be hard to find certain varieties depending on where you live, so let me know if you try a new one that works well :) I can get smoked gouda most easily where I live, so that's what I usually use, but I've also tried and enjoyed it with smoked mozzarella and smoked cheddar. I am adding a range on both the basil leaves and sun-dried tomatoes, as it depends on the size of the pieces you have as to how many you might want - enough to cover each mushroom.

My fiance and I really like Greek food and flavors. I made a meatloaf similar to this once but changed it up into burgers for a fun option when the weather gets warm.-Melissa Obernesser, Utica, New York

Tips:
- Choose the right mushrooms. Portobello mushrooms are the best choice for this burger because they are large and meaty. You can also use cremini mushrooms, but they will be a bit smaller.
- Marinate the mushrooms. Marinating the mushrooms in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, herbs, and spices will help to infuse them with flavor.
- Cook the mushrooms over medium heat. This will help to prevent them from becoming tough.
- Use a good bun. A sturdy bun will help to hold up the burger and prevent it from falling apart.
- Load up on the toppings. The toppings are what really make this burger special. Be generous with the sun-dried tomatoes, basil, and cheese.
Conclusion:
The smoky portobello burger with sun-dried tomatoes and basil is a delicious and easy-to-make vegetarian burger that is perfect for any occasion. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
