Elegant Grilled Mini Burgers

With the Patriots away this Sunday in New York, we can cook something nice at home that might be too much trouble at the parking lot.

Here’s an elegant recipe from the Certified Angus Beef folks. I like the idea of the mini burgers because they are so easy to eat in a few bites.

GRILLED MINI BURGERS
1 1/2 pounds ground chuck
2 large portabello mushrooms, cleaned
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup canola oil
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 pound smoked mozzarella or cheddar cheese, sliced thin
12 mini buns or soft rolls
2 small vine-ripe tomatoes, sliced thin
1 roasted red pepper cut in strips, canned or fresh
1 head lettuce, cleaned and separated

Marinate Portobello mushrooms in balsamic vinegar and oil for 10 minutes and grill until just done; slice into thin strips.

Season ground chuck with salt and pepper, and portion into 2-ounce patties. Grill to 160 degrees internal temperature. Top with cheese and close grill to melt cheese slightly.

Place patty on bottom bun and top with tomato, mushrooms, lettuce, red pepper and bun top.

Serves 4
