Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds ground chuck

2 to 3 dashes Worcestershire sauce

Kosher salt 

Freshly ground black pepper 

8 Portobello mushrooms, stemmed and cleaned 

1 tablespoon olive oil 

1/2 cup freshly grated Swiss cheese 

Drizzles of Dijon mustard 

4 butter lettuce leaves 

8 tomato slices 

1/2 cup crispy jalapeños (such as French's) 

Directions

  1. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat.
  2. With your hands, mix the ground chuck, Worcestershire, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper thoroughly in a bowl. Form the meat into 4 patties. Make an indention with your thumb in the center of each patty to keep them from plumping too much when they cook. Refrigerate.
  3. Add the mushrooms to a bowl and toss with the olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt and a pinch of pepper. Grill the mushrooms until tender, 6 to 7 minutes per side. Transfer mushrooms to a sheet pan, lightly cover, and set aside.
  4. Next, remove the sliders from the fridge and place on the grill. Grill the sliders until just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side; top each slider with 2 tablespoons of the cheese 1 to 2 minutes before sliders are done and allow cheese to begin to melt. Remove the sliders from the grill. Drizzle Dijon mustard on inside (gill side) of each Portobello mushroom cap to make "buns." Place each slider on top of a Portobello. Top with 1 lettuce leaf each, 2 slices of tomato and a sprinkle of crispy jalapeños. Place a Portobello "bun on" top of each, gill-side down. Serve and enjoy.

I'm Baba

I liked the idea of what Ree did with this recipe, but found the 2 large portobellos were too much mushroom, even for me, a huge fan of mushrooms. So decided to try changing it up a little. First I browned 1 lb of ground beef (you could use sausage, but that's about the only meat I'm not a fan of) and seasoned it like I would burgers - with salt and pepper, steak seasoning, worcestershire, minced garlic and finely chopped onion. Then I used cremini caps, stems and gills removed (or you could use baby bellas) and filled them with a teaspoonful of the meat and baked them in the oven til the mushrooms were cooked. When I took them out of the oven, I topped them with a slice of Roma tomato, a little shredded lettuce and some shredded cheddar (you could use the cheese of your choice). Turned out to be a terrific appetizer and everyone at the party enjoyed them - there weren't any left! And my husband asked me to make them for us for NYE. Please no comments about having a party - I first tried this about a year ago before covid!
