Description

Ingredients

• 2 pounds ground beef
• 1 clove garlic, minced or crushed
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
• 2 Tablespoons minced fresh parsley
• about 6 Tablespoons tomato sauce, plus aditional for serving, if desired
• 6 slices mozzarella cheese
• six ciabatta rolls (or twelve "slider" size portobella mushrooms, stems and gills removed, rubbed with about a teaspoon of olive oil and sprinkled with a bit of kosher salt)
• romaine lettuce
• sliced roma tomatoes
• Ciabatta
• portobellos, remove stem and gills - 450 for 10 minutes with a teaspoon or two of oil
• Indentation in meat

Directions

• In a large bowl, combine the beef, garlic, salt, pepper, parmesan cheese, and parsley. Gently mix together until thoroughly combined. Divide into six equal-sized balls and press into patties. Using your thumb, make an indentation into the middle of each patty. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill for 5-6 minutes per side to desired doneness. For the last couple minutes of grilling, flip to have the side with the indentation up, and top with a tablespoon of tomato sauce and a slice of mozzarella cheese. If you are using portobella buns, grill the mushrooms alongside the burgers or roast in a 450°F oven for about 10 minutes, or until tender. Place burgers on rolls or portobellas and top with romaine lettuce and sliced tomatoes. Serve with additional tomato sauce, if desired.
