Cheesy Mushroom Burgers

Have you ever felt like your brain goes to mush when you try to plan meals ahead of time? This is exactly what happens to me! When i try to brainstorm weekly meals my mind tends to go blank. For my packed lunches i had to come up with something simple, yet tasty. Cue ground beef. Ground beef is what i've been relying on to pack quick, protein filled lunches. I had some ground beef on hand and wanted to try incorporating mushrooms into the mixture to make it more like a "gourmet" burger. This combo was delicious! The mushrooms carmelize up and are a perfect addition to these burgers, that and the delicious Mexican blend cheese make this a new recipe that will be on my lunch rotation from now on.
