Mushroom Beef Burger
"A burger lightend up that still tastes good. Pulse the mushrooms until they resemble the texture of the ground meat....about 4 pulses. Also, take the time to let as much liquid as possible cook out of the mushrooms so the meat patty will hold together. Prep time does not include the hour for the pickles."
