We’re off on our vacation today! We rented a “Shabby Chic” cottage on the Finger Lakes in NY, and are eager to soak in the lake views from the deck, test out the kayaks and rowboats, and of course grill some fantastic food!
Because we’re going to be grilling all week (hurray!), today I’m sharing a recipe for Mushroom Mozzarella Burgers!
These burgers are juicy, beefy, and fantastic. They cook up deliciously in a cast iron skillet on the stove, or fired up on a grill.
They’re covered in a thick, creamy layer of melted fresh mozzarella cheese and topped with sautéed garlic mushrooms! Yummy! Put it all on a golden, toasted bun and I’m in love 🙂
