- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 pound chorizo sausage
- ½ onion, diced
- 4 slices cooked bacon, chopped

- ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
- ½ teaspoon salt

DIRECTIONS
Instructions Checklist
- Step 1 Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Step 2 Scrape the gills out of each mushroom. Brush olive oil over each mushroom (top and bottom) and season with salt and pepper. Arrange mushrooms, gill-side up, on a baking sheet.
- Step 3 Bake in the preheated oven until tender, about 7 minutes.
- Step 4 Combine ground beef, chorizo, onion, bacon, egg, garlic, cilantro, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and chili powder in a large bowl just until mixed; shape into 8 patties. Place a patty on top of each mushroom.
- Step 5 Bake in the preheated oven until burgers are fully cooked, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
Cook’s Notes:
Wipe the mushrooms clean with a paper towel.
Tips
If you are using cheese, place it on the patty 5 minutes before they are done, so the cheese can melt.
