    I'm always skeptical of Rachael Ray's recipes because I'm never happy with the outcome and this recipe was no different. The burgers were difficult to eat and the red pepper paste made the buns soggy. It ended up being a knife and fork sort of burger. If you're a vegetarian I guess this recipe is an okay burger replacement but if you're a regular meat eater, this mushroom burger won't do it for you. I'll just stick to beef or turkey burgers next time.

    This was unbelievably delish! It was also a user friendly recipe, colorful, and healthy. I'll definitely keep this one on file.

    This was a total success! I had never made portobello burgers before, but it turned out so good. My friend who requested it for our dinner party was blown away! I served it with roasted veggies and home-made sweet potato fries from a Food Network Magazine recipe. Also, I second that the roasted red pepper spread is crucial to this sandwich. It is easy to make and it brings the whole sandwich together. I roasted my own peppers under the broiler instead of using jarred, and it turned out good as well.
