Mini Garlic & Mushroom Burgers



This recipe came about by an extremely happy accident. I was hungry and my roommate was hungry and we both were about to make dinner. "What do you feel like?" I asked, and my very complacent roommate told me whatever. Something fast. Something yummy.


Let me tell ya, these were yummy!

I had dinner rolls and mushrooms, my roommate had some mini burger patties she had bought because they were extremely cute.

What? We're girls. We sometimes buy things just because of their "cute" merit.

Anyway! So, we decided to join forces and cook food. My roommate cooked up the patties on a skillet while I went to work on the toppings. 

So so so good. Happy accident, I'm telling you.


I sautéed the mushrooms with butter (approx 2 tbsp) and a sprinkle of garlic salt. I had some minced garlic in my fridge, so I put a spoonful of that in and let everything meld together.


While my mushrooms were browning and simmering, I took 3 tbsp of mayo and 2 tbsp of cream cheese and blended until smooth. I then mixed it with 1/2 tsp dried basil, oregano, and 1/4 garlic salt. I added salt and pepper and some of the oil from my minced garlic jar in the fridge.


With a couple stirs, I had a delicious garlic-cheese spread.



To assemble the burgers, put the patty on bottom of the bun, (which, by the way, we used white dinner rolls). Put a hefty dollop of the mushroom on patty, then smear the top of the burger bun with a big blob of garlic spread, and place on top of the entire thing. These are very precise terms, dollop and blob. But, when you're done, you'll have a delicious miniature sandwich.


Yum. Divine. Try not to eat more then 8. I feel like that could be horrible for your health.

  3. Oh, you girls. Rockin' in the kitchen. I don't use the word cute a lot (probably because it's the best descriptive of me). Love what you did here.

  7. I love mini-burgers, they are so cute and bite-sized! (Though it usually means I end up eating more than I would had the burgers been regular-sized! So worth it, though!)

    I also gave your blog an award, please do stop by my blog to accept it!

  8. Oh... Yes. That looks so yummy. The only problem with bite-sized is that I eat too many. Yep.
