Kale & Mushroom Burger with English Cheddar

A slightly more healthy version of a burger. The kale goes really nicely with everything & is quite appealing texture wise to the palate compared to the typical iceberg - not to mention kale is so good for you. If your on a diet and want to really make it low-fat and super healthy, you could do a whole wheat extra grain bun, leave out the cheese, do ground turkey instead of beef, and instead of a chipotle mayo you could easily sub the mayo for yogurt. But this version is still quite healthy compared to your average burger. 

Ingredients:
1 burger patty (lean ground beef)
1 sesame bun
2 slices of aged sharp cheddar
2 large kale leaves
2 yellow onion rings
3-4 button mushrooms
a few slices of poblano (or jalapeno)
salt & freshly ground black pepper
chipotle mayo - as needed. For recipe see previous blog*
To make:
Season burger patty & sear in pan. Meanwhile saute mushrooms, onions, & poblano in a little olive oil... once browned add kale a wilt. Once burger is basically done melt cheese. Toast bun, spread chipotle mayo on bun, layer mushrooms, onions, poblano, kale on bottom - patty on top. Enjoy!
*chipotle mayo: 1/2 mayo, 1 canned chipotle, 1 Tablespoon red wine vinegar. Blend all together.
