Mushroom-Swiss Burgers with Dijon-Horseradish Sauce

Ingredients

3 pounds Lean Ground Beef

1/3 cup Beef non-stick grilling marinade

1 Tbl Steak Seasoning

2 Tbl unsalted butter

3 cups sliced mushrooms

1 tsp salt

1 tsp fresh ground black pepper

6 1-ounce slices Swiss Cheese

6 Hamburger Buns

1/4 cup Unsalted Butter, melted

1 1/2 cup Fresh Spinach Leaves

6 red Onion Slices

1 Recipe Dijon Horseradish Sauce

Instructions

Divide the ground beef into six equal parts and form burger patties, approximately 1-1/2” thick.

Prepare the grill: Brush the surface of the burgers with the no-stick marinade and sprinkle with the steak seasoning. Cook over direct high heat for 8-10 minutes.

While the burgers are cooking:

Heat the butter in a medium sauté pan over high heat. Place mushrooms, salt, and pepper in the hot butter and sauté mushrooms for 6-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Drain excess liquid.

While they are still on the grill, top each burger with one slice of each cheese. Divide the mushrooms evenly and place them atop the cheese. Close the lid on the grill and cook just until the cheese melts.

Brush the hamburger buns with the melted butted and toast on the grill over medium direct heat for 2-3 minutes.

Spread the Dijon mustard sauce on both sides of the bun. Place a burger on each bun and top with the fresh spinach leaves and red onions.

Yield: 6 Hamburgers

Pastel de Huevo

OK, so it’s a quiche. But “Mexican Quiche” just didn’t sound right. I’ve already thrown in an Italian version in this book. I don’t want to do even more to insult the Francophiles. So, we’ll just call it an egg pie. If you have a Mexican market nearby, purchase your chorizo there (unless you make your own). Substitute queso cotija or queso chihuahua for a little more depth in the flavor profile. Leftover salsa can be used for a topping on scrambled eggs or a dip with chips later in the day.

Baked Potato Quiche

I call this recipe “Comfort quiche.” It’s perfect for a cold December evening. The great thing about quiche is that it can be prepared in advance and held cold in the refrigerator or frozen up to a couple of weeks. When the holidays are hectic and the house is crowded, this quiche is perfect as a lap meal in front of the fireplace served alongside a light salad.
