     If you grill the mushrooms, they will stay dryer then baking in an oven. - 10/4/13

     UH OH!!! If you are going to eat low-carb., first rule is do NOT eat low fat. Also, there is a great OOpsie roll recipe for buns. Just cream cheese and eggs for the oopsie rolls. I think someone has posted the recipe on Spark. But you can also Google it.
    So, add mayo, bacon and full fat cheese!!! - 9/22/13

     The recipe is very good. However to the person who said she would not eat a mushroom instead of the burger...well that is your choice, but this is to rate the recipe not give an opinion on what you would or would not do. Thanks - 1/16/15

     I'm not a big red meat eater, so I switched out the beef for chicken that I ground from chicken breasts that I had and changed the low-fat cheddar cheese to a small amount of mozzarella. This was very delicious! - 9/21/13

     The only thing I left out was the onion (allergic) and they were delicious. - 9/21/13

     Cost?

    It's all very well to provide recipes for which you've worked on the basics to reduce calories, sugars, salts, whatever.
    But we need to be able to afford these ingredients.

    We don't all have Farmers' or other produce Markets - especially not a FM where prices are lower than shops. - 9/22/13

     Why have a pretend bun at all? Have burger sans bun, veggies on the side, your plate looks fuller...

     It seems that the carbs listed are higher than what they actually would be for each serving. The carbs in the veges and the small amount of carbs in the cheddar cheese in no way total up to 22.7 grams of carbs. - 9/25/13

     I don't think it's a burger substitute either but as stuffed mushrooms, they're great.
    Remember to take the gills (brown ribby stuff) out of the portobellos.
    I can now buy beef burger at lower fat percentages than either turkey or chicken - two options I find tasteless. - 8/7/14

     Looked great and was very tasty - but the mushroom in place of a bun really didn't do it for me. - 8/7/14

     I'm not gonna eat a mushroom and pretend it's a bun. - 10/4/13
  • NEARLYNINA
     Ooooh I love this idea! I'm a huge mushroom fan & usually add some chopped to my burger patties but this idea is divine & good for me! Definitely picking up some Portabellos next time I'm at the grocers.

    Not sure where the complaint about cost comes in? These are really basic ingredients. - 10/4/13

     Not tasty, family said thumbs down. I just buy Sara Lee 45 cal. per slice bread, toast it and use that for buns, easier, not too many calories, and tastes good, kids like it. Way too much celery, yuck! - 9/3/14
  • SUPERSYLPH
     CMFARRELL36 is right. Mushrooms were pricey! Then, I couldn't make the patties thin enough AND keep the onions and celery in. I couldn't fit all that the recipe called for, so I threw a lot of away. I ran out of patty before I finished, and ended up eating mostly mushroom. Patty was tasty though. - 1/12/14

     4 ounces of beef for 2 burgers???? You don't cut back on protein if you're trying to go low carb. I also agree with not using low-fat cheese. You'd be better off using 4 oz beef per burger. Then, you'll have a meal instead of a snack. - 8/7/15

     I'm going to try this burger. It amazes me how people turn a recipe forum for their own personal likes and needs. Try it or not and start your own blog on all the rest - 8/7/15

     Looks all kinds of amazing! - 9/21/13

     I grilled the mushrooms and this made the sandwich so much better - 7/18/18

     Low carb and you suggest low fat cheese and 2 slices of tomato? SMH - 3/30/18
  • JANET552
     Thanks for the info on how to make the mushroom drier. Delicious recipe!! - 3/30/17
  • ACEY1219
     Why not just use 96/4 ground beef - no fillers and 130 calories for 4 oz
    - 3/30/15
  • SHERYLP461
     even healthier would be to use ground turkey instead of beef, I am giving this a try that way and grilling both the burger and the portobellos - 8/7/14

     I was going to watch on Youtube, but it took forever for the ads to load and so I shut it off. Oh well, I'm taking down the recipe but with you doing Youtube and then Facebook? That's worse than doing Low Carb + Low Fat. I have grilled portabello In Place of meat for a cheeseburger. Woo Hoo!!! - 6/13/21
