  • Rinse off your mushrooms (some people say to just wipe them with a towel, either way works– just get them clean.)

  • Now chop all of the mushrooms up into smaller pieces and toss into skillet.

  • Add your chopped onion and cloves of garlic. (Make sure they are finely cut. I used a food processor for this step.)

  • Pour your olive oil into the skillet with the mushrooms, onions, and garlic and stir together and sauté. Now add your salt and pepper.

  • The salt will cause the liquid to escape from the mushrooms so continue to cook until most of the water disappears.

  • Now grab a large bowl and pour the cooked mushroom mixture into it.

  • Now it’s time to add the oats and cheese.  

(I didn’t have plain oats, but I had maple syrup oatmeal. Then I had a brilliant idea. I used a sifter and poured 1/2 of bag of oatmeal in at a time and sifted it, causing the seasonings to leave the oats! Not everyone has plain oats lying around but most have at least a couple packages of oatmeal, right!?)

  • Stir up the mixture then add your breadcrumbs, two (beaten) eggs, and a little more salt.

  • Grab your skillet again and pour oil into it and allow it to get hot on the stove (any oil will work.) While you’re waiting for the oil to get hot, go ahead and start forming your patties.

(If you put some oil or water onto your hands while you’re forming the patties they will not stick to you as much.)

  • Now let’s fry these burgers!

  • Once browned on both sides (about 3-4 minutes per side) place the burger on a paper towel that’s sitting on a plate. This will help drain a bit of grease.

All done! Now all you have to do is pair it with your favorite burger toppings!
