- ¼ tsp. garlic powder

- ¼ cup red onion
- 1 tbsp. chopped parsley fresh

Instructions
- Place mushrooms in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until all are finely chopped. NOTE: Use the PULSE function on your food processor, do not let it just run or you'll end up with pureed mushrooms!
- Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add the chopped mushrooms and saute for ~ 3-5 minutes or until all the moisture is out and the mixture is dry.
- Place ground beef in a bowl. Add mushrooms, onions, parsley, oregano, garlic powder and salt and pepper. Mix until well combined.

- Remove and place on a bun with lettuce and tomato if desired. You can add sliced roasted red peppers, sliced cheese, and onion slices if desired.
Notes
Note: Once cooked the burgers weigh about 3 ounces. If you prefer a larger burger, you could make 4, 6 ounce burgers.
