3 lbs of ground beef, 3 eggs
Mix in the garlic and season with salt and pepper.
2 cloves garlic, Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Form 6 to 8 patties that are slightly smaller than the mushroom caps so they can fit on top once cooked.
Place on a preheated grill and cook each side for about 5-7 minutes (the time it takes will depend on the temperature of your grill. I cooked them at medium-low for approximately this time).

Rinse the mushrooms and pat them dry.
6-8 large Portabello mushrooms
Remove the mushroom stems. The reason for this is that you want your mushroom cap to take the form of a hamburger bun. Do not discard them they can be great for many other recipes, or you can grill them along with the caps.
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Coat the caps in olive oil and then season with salt and pepper. Do not let the oil penetrate for long, as you will notice the mushrooms will start to get soggy.
A few tablespoons of olive oil
Place on the preheated grill and cook on each side for about 5-7 minutes.
