If you love layers of flavor and one hell of a juicy burger, this burger you will most likely enjoy. Two 5" patties rubbed down inside and out with Tatonka Dust then stuffed with sautéed Baby Bella mushrooms, garlic, green onion and a home style gravy! Grilled over a oak wood fire with Swiss cheese melted on top. It's delicious to say the least.

Let's get to cooking!

 Heat your cooker up so that you can achieve 400 degrees in the center of a cast iron skillet. Any pan will do but I do recommend cast iron.

Add 1/2 stick of unsalted butter and 8 oz. Baby Bella mushrooms. Sauté until the mushrooms soften up a little. Add in 1 tsp red pepper flakes, 1/2 tsp chopped rosemary and 2 cloves chopped garlic. Add in another 8 oz. of Baby Bella mushrooms and 1/2 stick unsalted butter.

Add in 8 sliced green onion. Cook until the mushrooms are softened up. And the green onion start to become translucent. Add in 6 oz. of home style beef gravy. Continue to cook until the gravy is heated and covers all the mushrooms. Remove from heat.

I'm cooking on a Santa Maria style cooker and this is a good point to add a couple sticks of oak wood.

Split 3.75 lbs. of 80/20 ground beef into 8 even portions. Form 8 patties about 5" in diameter. Shake some Tatonka Dust on the inside of each patty. Spoon on even amounts of mushrooms on to 4 of the patties leaving a 3/8" border around the edges. Place a patty over the top and work your fingers around the edges pinching them shut and forming a single stuffed patty.

Shake on Tatonka Dust on the top and bottom of each patty. Once your fire is appropriate and you have achieved a grate temp of 500 degrees, place the patties on the grates. Cook for 3 minutes then rotate each patty 180 degrees and continue cooking for 4 to 5 minutes. Flip the burgers and repeat the process. Flip again and place on two slices of Swiss cheese. If you have a hood or door, close it and cook until the cheese is melted. I'm a mushroom lover so I held some mushrooms aside and put them on top and melted the Swiss over them. yum!

Once the cheese has melted remove from heat and let stand 15 minutes. Build your burger the way you love it and dig in. These are vey messy and definitely worth a try. I bet you get hooked. If your thinking they are too big then think a romantic burger for two and a gold bottle of red wine. Just saying!
