Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 1 small sweet yellow onion thinly sliced
- 4 portobello mushrooms
- 1 ½ teaspoons smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 4 slices provolone cheese
- 4 burger buns
- ¼ cup BBQ Sauce
- 1 cup baby spinach
Instructions
- Cook onions: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the sliced onion and cook, stirring often, for 8-10 minutes until very soft and lightly golden. Set aside.
- Prepare portobellos: Wipe portobello mushrooms clean with a damp towel. Pull out the stems and use a butter knife to scrape out the gills.
- Brush both sides of the mushrooms with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Stir together the smoked paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle the seasonings over both sides of the mushrooms.
- To cook on an outdoor grill: Heat an outdoor gas or charcoal grill to medium heat. Put the seasoned portobellos on the grill and cook for 4-6 minutes per side, or until tender (close the grill cover to trap the heat while cooking). Top each mushroom with a slice of provolone as soon as the burgers come off of the hot grill.
- To cook on the stove: Heat a little olive oil in a cast iron skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Cook the seasoned portobellos in the hot pan for 4-6 minutes per side, or until tender. (Place a lid on the pan as needed to help the mushrooms cook through. I usually cover the pan for the first half of the cook time, then uncover.) Top each mushroom with a slice of provolone as soon as the burgers come off of the hot pan.
- Assemble burgers: Spread 1 tablespoon of BBQ sauce over one half of each burger bun. Top each with a portobello, sautéed onions and spinach. Serve immediately.
