MUSHROOM AND BEEF BLENDED BURGERS FOR THE GRILL

Steps:

• Preheat a grill for medium-high heat.
• Pulse the sweet potato in a food processor until evenly and finely chopped, scraping down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed, about 10 pulses. Transfer to a large bowl. Pulse the mushrooms in the food processor until evenly and finely chopped, scraping down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed, about 8 pulses. Add to the sweet potato along with the ground beef, egg, cornstarch, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper, then mix with your hands until combined. Form the meat mixture into 4 patties, each about 4 inches in diameter. Season each side with a good pinch of salt and a few good grinds of pepper; set aside.
• Toss the scallions and poblano with the oil. Grill the scallions until lightly charred, turning halfway through with grilling tongs, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board. Grill the poblano, turning occasionally, until charred all over and tender, about 8 minutes. Transfer to cutting board. Grill the hamburger buns until lightly toasted and have some grill marks, about 30 seconds. Transfer to a serving platter.
• Brush the grill grates with some oil. Place the patties on the grill and cook, undisturbed (and with the grill uncovered), until the first side has developed nice grill marks, 3 1/2 to 4 minutes. Carefully flip the burgers with a metal spatula and continue to cook until well browned all over, about 2 minutes more. Top each burger with 1 slice of cheese, then cover and cook until the cheese has melted and the burger has reached medium doneness, about 1 minute more. Transfer to the bottom bun halves.
• Thinly slice the scallions and place in a small bowl. Stir in the mayonnaise, lime zest and juice, a good pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Spread the mixture on the top bun halves. Thinly sliced the poblano, then divide among the burgers. Top evenly with the pickled jalapenos and lettuce. Sandwich with the top bun halves.

Steps:

• Heat a grill to medium-high and oil the grates. (The burgers can also be cooked in a lightly greased nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side.)
• In a food processor, working in 2 batches, pulse the mushrooms, scraping down the sides and bottom, until finely chopped but not puréed. Transfer to a large bowl and add the beef. Mix until well blended, then form into 8 equal patties, each about 4 inches wide.
• Season the patties with salt and pepper, and grill until lightly charred underneath, 3 to 5 minutes. Gently flip burgers and grill until golden and cooked to medium, 3 to 4 minutes longer, topping each with a slice of cheese during the last minute of cooking. Transfer burgers to a large platter.

Stir in parsley, bread crumbs, egg, balsamic vinegar and salt and pepper to taste. The mixing spoon should stand in the mixture. If not, add more bread crumbs Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Shape mushroom mixture into 4 burgers. Heat remaining oil in a large saute pan over medium high heat and sear until golden on both sides.

BEEF-MUSHROOM SMASH BURGERS

Steps:

• Make the sauce: In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, mustard, sriracha and Cajun seasoning. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Make the burgers: In a large bowl, combine the beef and minced mushrooms. Divide the mixture into 8 balls, about 4 ounces each. Season with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat a large cast-iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Add the butter. Once the skillet is very hot and the butter has melted, add the beef balls (you may need to do this in a few batches, depending on the size of your skillet or griddle). One at a time, place a burger press over each beef ball (you may want to place a small sheet of parchment on the meat in case the press sticks). Smash each burger into a flat disk for 10 seconds, applying a lot of pressure. Repeat until all the burgers are smashed.
• Cook the patties 2 minutes, then flip. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and press down again with the press. Continue to cook until caramelized and charred, 1 to 2 more minutes. Top each patty with a slice of cheese and let melt, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Assemble the burgers: Spread the sauce on the bun bottoms. Top with some shredded lettuce and 2 patties. Add a fried egg, bacon and pickles if you want, and more sauce if you like it saucy. Close with the bun tops and enjoy!
