Instructions
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium heat.
Wipe the portabella mushroom caps clean with a damp cloth and remove the stems.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Brush the mushroom caps generously on both sides with the olive oil mixture.
Place the mushroom caps gill-side down on the preheated grill and cook for 5-6 minutes.
Flip the mushroom caps and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until tender and slightly charred.
During the last minute of grilling, place a slice of cheese on top of each mushroom cap and cover the grill to allow the cheese to melt.
Lightly toast the hamburger buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes, if desired.
Assemble the burgers by spreading mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard on the bottom halves of the buns.
Place a grilled portabella mushroom cap with melted cheese on the prepared buns.
Top with lettuce leaves, tomato slices, and red onion slices.
