The last couple of weeks left in the year are busy times. Many are preparing for Christmas and New Years celebrations. With all the party planning, present shopping, wrapping, and parties to attend many of us are left with little time for healthy meals. Today I want to share a meal that is super easy and fast to prepare.
These vegan “burgers” are made using large portobello mushrooms. They can be topped and served with any of your favorite burger toppings and side dishes. I love cheese (thought that excluded them from the vegan category), grilled onions, tomatoes, and chile peppers on my burgers. That is what you see in the photos. There really is no recipe to this recipe. Basically all you do is grilled the portobellos until they are soft. The time will depend on how large and thick the mushrooms are.
I’m going to upload this no-recipe recipe to the recipe page so that you can print it out and save the idea for one of your busy days. Enjoy!
- whole portobello mushrooms, cut stem off or to same height as round top
- olive oil
- salt
- ground black peppers
- cheese
- grilled onions
- lettuce
- tomatoes
- Heat a grilling pan or outdoor grill. Brush the portobellos with a little olive oil, then rub with salt and pepper. Grill or cook until the mushroom patty is soft and tender. Top and serve with your favorite topping and sides.
This is one of my favorite meatless meals. In fact portobellos are a great option for eating healthier and for meatless meals. These burgers go great with a side of Spicie Roasted Potatoes. If you don’t fancy a “burger” check out my Grilled Portobello Steaks (Vegan) or Jalapeno Portobello “Steak” Wraps (Vegan with Beef Steak Option)

Oh, I love portobello burgers – and this one looks amazing!
Who wouldn’t want to sink their teeth into this burger! It looks totally delicious!
My gosh….I really have to make this one day. I have got it printed out. My days seem to be getting busier and busier….on the fast lane! I just need some quick cooking like this mouth-watering burger. Looks really good…..mmmm. I would love it spicy……drooling now :D
The burger looks stunning. Each detail is captured to perfection :)
I love portobello burgers too. I wish I could find the mushrooms here. I see their smaller cousins, which I guess I could turn into a burger, but it wouldn’t be the same. Although now you’ve got me thinking….
That’s a burger I will love too!
These are my favorite kind of burger! :)
This looks like my kinda burger. So juicy and meaty with mushroom. Loving it!
Yum!
I LOVE portobello burgers, but for some reason I never make them at home… changing this!!
You have made the burger look glorious. Portobello mushrooms are the best.
even though i eat meat (well mostly chicken)….i am crazy for veggie burgers…hehe.
i have tried burgers with lentils, beans and even soy but not ones with mushrooms yet. these look amazingly delish!
Nancy, the burger looks amazing! I usually have portobellos in omelette. I am now very tempted to have them in my burgers :)
That looks as filling and delicious as any beef or turkey burger I have seen.
I have never tried portobello mushroom burgers… but they sure look good and satisfying. :)
Wow! This burger looks amazing! Just WOW! That is the only thing I can muster haha
What a great version of the veggie burger! Love that it’s really one huge mushroom.
I often make these in the summer when my vegetarian friend comes over but we want BBQ. It is very delicious and quick. Time savers are perfect now but I would have to bbq in the snow :-D
I love a good mushroom burger–I never get tired of them! I just ate dinner and now I’m feeling hungry again… :D
Beautiful photos and equally delicious looking burger… :D
Who would even miss the beef? The ‘burger’ looks luscious!
I just started leafing through Yummy Pics and I’m very impressed! Thank you for sharing.
