Spinach and Mushroom BurgerFit Burger
I love this BurgerFit burger! It is the go-to burger if you really need to disguise a vegetable. The mushrooms take on the flavor and texture of the meat, so it tastes like a regular burger.

- Measuring spoons
- Knife
- Food processor
- Large bowl
- Utensil for mixing
Ingredients
- 1 (8 ounce) package mushrooms
- 1 tsp salt, divided
- 1/2 tablespoon onion powder
- 3 cups raw spinach
- 2 cloves garlic or 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 lb ground meat
Instructions
- Heat a skillet on medium heat with 1 tablespoon cooking fat. Rough chop the mushrooms and saute with a ½ teaspoon of salt for about 10 minutes, until soft. For the last couple of minutes, add the spinach to the skillet to cook with the mushrooms.
- Once the spinach and mushrooms are cooked, put the spinach, mushrooms, garlic, and onion in the food processor (or finely chop). Let the mixture cool completely.
- In a large bowl, mix the ground meat and the remaining teaspoon of salt. Gradually incorporate the vegetable mixture into the ground meat. Add as much as you can while still being able to form your burgers as normal.*If you end up adding too much vegetable mixture, don’t worry! Just form your burgers and cook in the oven for 20 minutes at 350 degrees.
- Cook burgers on medium heat on the stove for 5 minutes on each side or to your preference. Cooking times can vary.
- Serve with your favorite cheese and condiments.
