This diner classic may not look healthy, but it's made with
a mixture of lean ground beef and finely chopped Portobello mushrooms. You'll
get all of the flavour with less fat!
This diner classic gets a makeover by replacing some of the
ground beef with finely chopped Portobello mushrooms, which add moisture and
flavour. We like a smear of pickle relish on top, but you could try chutney,
mustard or hot pepper relish in its place.
Ingredients:
·
12 ounces -lean ground beef
·
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
·
2 cups (about 2) finely chopped Portobello
mushroom caps, gills removed
·
4 slices rye bread
·
3 tablespoons plain dry breadcrumbs
·
1 clove garlic, peeled
·
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
·
8 teaspoons pickle relish
·
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme, or 1/2 teaspoon
dried
·
4 (2 ounces) slices Swiss cheese
·
1/4 teaspoon salt
Preparation:
1.
Position rack in upper third of oven; preheat
broiler. Line a broiler pan with foil.
2. Gently mix beef, mushrooms, breadcrumbs,
Worcestershire, thyme, salt and pepper in a medium bowl until combined. Shape
into 4 patties and place on the prepared pan. Broil until cooked through, 4 to
6 minutes per side.
3.
Meanwhile, toast bread. Rub each slice of toast
with garlic.
4. Place 1 patty on each piece of toast, top each
with 2 teaspoons relish and cover with a slice of cheese. Remove foil and place
the sandwiches on the pan; broil until the cheese is just melted, 30 to 60
seconds.
