Portobella Mushroom Burgers II

The last time we made these hippy burgers we tossed them on the grill but what if it is raining outside and you are planning on making these for dinner but you can't? What will you do? Give up and go to Taco Bell? Push the speed dial number on your phone for Pizza Hut? Starve to death? No, dumbass, we are going to cook them inside on our magical cast iron skillet. Don't have one? Stop reading and go buy one now. Seriously. Let's begin:

When you are cooking a portobella don't think mushroom; Think steak. Prep your portobella by washing lightly and removing as much of the stem as you can. The stem does not cook well so try to gouge it out. Pre-heat your oven to 350 deg. Warm your skillet with some oil to medium heat. Toss on your mushroom, stem side down, for about 10 minutes. "Can I use pre-sliced crimini mushrooms instead? That is all I have." Don't toy with me you peon.

After you flip your portobella fill the cavity with feta cheese and anything else you would like. I thought some wilted spinach mixed with the cheese would be a nice filling but alas I ran out of spinach and am too lazy to go to the store. Take the skillet off the burner, place it in the oven and cook for an additional 10 minutes.

And there you have it. Another success story from the Cooking for Assholes kitchen. I bet you wish you were me. I get to eat so much good food and I also have the immense satisfaction of knowing I cooked it. What do you have? Only a pitiful attempt at replicating what I can do in my sleep. Eat it.
