Just curious…what nutrition am I actually adding by adding mushrooms? Looks like an insignificant amount of vitamin D.
You can get different types of minerals, protein, and some antioxidants
Will try , whenever red meat is swapped for a plant( fungus ) product it’s a plus!
Alternatively, omit the ground beef and simply make a mushroom burger. There are many recipes out there. My own recipe includes roasted shiitake and portobello mushrooms, steamed greens (usually collard greens and kale), ground cashews, spelt flour and egg whites.
YUMMMMM!
Do I assume the mushrooms are drained after being sauteed?
Just wondering: Do I have to saute the mushrooms beforemixing with the ground meat?
