It turns out, there are tons of filling veggie options out there that are bursting with flavor and that taste just as good as some of our meat-filled favorites, this portobello veggie burger being one of them! If you haven’t tried something similar, you’ll be shocked to know that portobello mushrooms, when grilled, can take on a distinctly beefy flavor that tastes amazing and that we can’t get enough of. We paired said mushrooms with black beans and broccoli, and then we got grilling. The result is a crispy patty that’ll knock your socks off…try it out and see for yourself!
