Ingredients

8 large portobello mushrooms, stems removed

1 tablespoon vegetable oil, or more as needed

salt and ground black pepper to taste

1 pound ground beef

1 pound chorizo sausage

½ onion, diced

4 slices cooked bacon, chopped

1 egg

2 cloves garlic, minced

¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon ground black pepper

½ teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon chili powder

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Scrape the gills out of each mushroom. Brush olive oil over each mushroom (top and bottom) and season with salt and pepper. Arrange mushrooms, gill-side up, on a baking sheet.

Bake in the preheated oven until tender, about 7 minutes.

Combine ground beef, chorizo, onion, bacon, egg, garlic, cilantro, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and chili powder in a large bowl just until mixed; shape into 8 patties. Place a patty on top of each mushroom.

Bake in the preheated oven until burgers are fully cooked, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
