This is one of the most disappointing recipes that I have ever tried. I have not eaten portabellas that many times, but every other time I ate them I loved them. In fact, I found this so appalling that since eating this I have even begun to not care for them in other recipes. I am not sure what exactly made me dislike this so much, especially since in the past when I enjoyed portabellas they were always grilled in a somewhat similar manner. For the record, since so many people change the entire recipe and then give it a bad review, I made and dressed these exactly as written. Furthermore, my girlfriend, who has had portabella burgers she enjoyed on more than one occasion, found these just as disgusting as I did. If you are going to the store to buy ingredients to try these, I recommend picking up some yoghurt – as that was what I ended up eating for dinner the evening I made these.

Wow. Very very good! Perfect balance of seasonings. I'm sure it would be best on the grill, but stove-top works pretty well too.

Very good. This is a simple, quick and easy recipe that is also a healthy alternative. My family raved on and on about how good the burgers were. Thank you!

Just made these bad boys tonight and they were delicious. I used a citrus and lemon pepper salt as well as regular pepper and omitted the basil. We also put a home-made chipotle mayo, grilled onions and baby spinach leaves with mozzarella cheese; everything done on the BBQ. A simple, savoury and delicious meal - try it.

WOW! I just recently made the jump to being a vegetarian and this mushroom burger made me never want to eat a beef burger again. I can't wait to fire up the grill and have another one tomorrow. I changed the recipe a bit however. Instead of salt, pepper, basil, and oregano I used "Grillmate Steak Marinade" and let them marinade for a few hours. I also used only 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar.

Definitely don't soak in marinade, just brush it on while cooking. Great recipe!

I just have to rave about this burger, It was so delicious! I didn't have any olive oil so instead I used coconut oil. I will be making this a lot.

MMMmmm! These are really good! I took a note from another review about the lack of grill and used the cooling rack. I placed the rack on top of a cookie sheet pan and it came out beautifully. I loved the sweet, savory flavors of this dish and I will definitely find a grill to get the "true" effect next time. :)

Made the recipe as written and added roasted red peppers, sauteed onions and some mixed greens on ciabatta bread. This will go into our regular rotation.
