I love burgers. I love them all. I can enjoy a burger from a fast food chain as much as I will enjoy one that claims to be gourmet. It’s an addiction that I’m not unhappy about. However, for some reason I don’t make them at home very often. This was about to change as Mediterranean Delicacies dropped of some of their delicious mature Gouda and I knew exactly what I would be making for lunch that day. I wanted a burger that had plenty of oozing cheese and a lot of mushrooms to go with it: a Cheeseburger with mushrooms, onions and a home-made ranch dressing! The burger is ready within 15 minutes and everything is very simple to prepare. Quick, easy and delicious: Pure bliss!
