Ingredients
  • 3 Pounds Chuck Roast
  • 1 Pound Mushroom (we use crimini)
  • 3 teaspoons Salt
  • Black Pepper
Toppings
  • sliced cheese
  • 1 sliced tomato
  • lettuce leaves
  • basil leaves
  • pickles
  • 12 Brioche buns
  • butter
Quick Jalapeno Guacamole
  • 2 Ripe Avocados
  • ½ Jalapeno
  • 1 lime
  • Salt
Caramelized Onions
  • 1 Red Onion
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ Tablespoon Brown Sugar
Burger Sauce
  • ¼ cup ketchup
  • ¼ cup bbq sauce
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise (we use veganaise)
Instructions
  1. Trim excess fat from the beef chuck to equal about 20% fat to 80% meat ratio. Grind up the meat in a meat grinder.
  2. Wash the mushrooms and grind in the meat grinder. Suspend the ground mushrooms in a sieve over a bowl to let the extra liquid strain off.
  3. While the mushrooms are draining, peel the onion, cut in half and slice into ¼" slices. Cook in a preheated pan. Sprinkle with salt and brown sugar and let caramelize on low heat 5-10 minutes.
  4. Combine the beef, mushrooms, salt and pepper.
  5. Weigh 4 ounces (1/4 pound) for each burger, roll into a ball and flatten into a circle. Make an indentation in the middle of the burger and stack with parchment squares lined in between the burgers. Up until this step the burgers can be made up to a day ahead, stacked in a container, covered and refrigerated.
  6. Preheat your grill. Meanwhile prepare the toppings. Slice the tomatoes, wash the lettuce and basil. Mix the mayonnaise, ketchup and bbq sauce together. Mash the avocados with a fork in a bowl. Add lime juice, salt and minced jalapeno. Preheat the same pan that the onions were caramelized in. Butter the brioche buns and toast on the hot pan.
  7. Cook the burgers 3-4 minutes on each side on high heat or until a meat thermometer registers 160 degrees. Once the burgers are flipped, place a slice of cheese on top.
  8. Take off the heat and serve immediately with all the fixings!
