Grilling up some sun-dried tomato and mushroom buffalo burgers? Heck yes, let's do it! This recipe is a tasty blend of flavors that'll leave your taste buds dancing, and it's as simple as pie! Here's the lowdown:
Yield: 4 patties (about 1/3 lb. each)Difficulty: A cinch, even for cooking newbiesTotal Time: 30 minutes prep, 20-25 minutes cooking
You'll need the following ingredients:
- Approximately 1 1/2 lbs. of ground buffalo meat
- 3-4 sun-dried tomatoes, coarsely chopped
- 2-4 cloves of garlic, minced (depending on your garlic love)
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons of "Organic All Purpose" seasoning (a blend of herbs and spices)
- Cheese (your choice – go crazy with your favorite types and thicknesses)
- 1/4 cup of red wine
- A few dashes of Lee & Perrins
- 1 lb. of 'shrooms, sliced
Now, let's get cookin'!
- Mix the wine, sun-dried tomatoes, and seasonings in a big enough bowl to hold the meat.
- Sauté the chopped onions, half of the sliced 'shrooms, and minced garlic in some hot oil until they're soft, then season them with a bit of salt and let them cool. Add these guys to the bowl with the liquid.
- Put the ground buffalo meat in the bowl and give it a good, thorough massage with the fluids and goodies. Form the meat mixture into patties.
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. On a hot, oiled skillet or griddle, cook the patties for about 5 minutes per side, then put them in the oven. Cook them for around 15 minutes or until they reach an internal temperature of about 160 degrees. At the 12-13 minute mark, top the patties with cheese and put them back in the oven.
- In the remaining time, cook the remaining 'shrooms however you like – whether on top of the cheese on the patties, as a gravy mix, or all as a gravy – it's all up to your taste!
Ta-da! Now you've got yourself some delectable sun-dried tomato and mushroom buffalo burgers. Enjoy the devilishly delicious flavor!

Instructions:
- Prepare the Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Mushrooms:

- Form the Patties:
- Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a round patty. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to help it cook evenly.
- Cook the Patties:
- Grill or pan-fry the patties over medium-high heat until they're cooked to your desired level of doneness. For medium, cook for about 4 minutes per side.
- Add Cheese (Optional):
- Place a slice of cheese on top of each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.

Tips:
- Homemade Buffalo Sauce: Mix 1/4 cup hot sauce (Frank's RedHot or similar) with 1/4 cup butter, melted. You can adjust the ratio to suit your desired level of heat.
