If you have a Blackstone, you can easily make this Portobello Mushroom Burger on the griddle. After marinating the mushroom, place the mushroom on the griddle that has been preheated and buttered.

Cover and cook portobello mushrooms for about 4 minutes. Then remove the cover and cook for about a minute longer.

Then remove from the griddle and add to a hamburger buns with your favorite toppings.
