Ingredients:

• 4 ground beef patties 80/20 blend
• 2 tablespoons porcini mushroom powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 4 slices of cheddar cheese
• 4 brioche burger buns
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 cup arugula
• 1 large tomato, sliced
• 1 red onion, thinly sliced
• Pickles for garnish

Instructions:

Set your Traeger grill's heat to medium-high

Use salt and pepper to season each beef patty

You can also use porcini mushroom powder

Once the patties are ready, put them on the hot, flat top of the Traeger grill

Squash each patty down with a spatula to make a thin, crispy edge

Cook for two to three minutes on each side, or until done the way you like it

In the last minute of cooking, cover the grill and add a slice of cheddar cheese to each patty

This will melt the cheese

Toast the brioche buns on the grill until golden brown while the patties are cooking

Put mayonnaise and Dijon mustard in a small bowl and mix them together to make a tasty spread

Spread the mayo-mustard mix on the bottom half of each bun before putting the burgers together

On top of the smashed patty, melt some cheese

Add arugula, tomato slices, red onion, and pickles to the top of each burger

Put the toasted top half of a brioche bun on top of each stack to finish the burgers

Enjoy the tasty mix of flavors on the Flat Top Porcini-Dusted Smashed Burgers while they're still hot!
