Homemade Portobello Mushrooms Burger

With Herbed Mayo

Love the ‘taste’ of bacon but not the calories, fat, cholesterol, growth hormones, antibiotics, carcinogens and terror from genetically modified pigs?

Try marinated and caramelized portobello mushroom “BLT’s” with herbed mayo instead. The steak of veggie burgers. Serve on a bun with lettuce, tomato and herbed mayo.

Everybody wins. Oh yeah!
