Beef and Mushroom Burgers
Homemade burgers packed with your favorite vegetables are a great alternative to the unhealthy fast food options. I don’t say something is the best very often, because I firmly believe that anything can be made differently to make it the best and best is subjective of course. But these…these are The Best Burgers EVER! Full of flavor, melt in your mouth, juicy and perfect.
Dietician Notes: To lower the glycemic index (GI) and to increase the fiber content always choose multigrain hamburger buns.
