• Mix gently until all ingredients are combined well.
• Form 4 fat patties.
• Drizzle olive oil on a platter and coat both sides of the patties with the oil.
• Place patties in a hot (medium high flame) skillet. Don't move them! Let the patties caramelize on one side before flipping, then let them caramelize on the other side.
• When patties are done, transfer to a platter. Top each patty with 1/4 of the remaining cheese. Cover with a foil tent and place into a warm oven to melt the cheese. The foil tent helps the patties retain their juiciness.
• In the same skillet, drizzle in the remaining 1 Tbsp of olive oil.
• Saute the onions and mushrooms until the mushrooms are a nice, rich brown, then season with salt and pepper.
• Deglaze the pan with wine, scraping up all the tasty brown bits. Let the alcohol cook off.
• Stir in Worcestershire, milk and mustard. The mixture will thicken up quickly.
• Gloss the sauce by dropping the butter into the pan in small chunks and letting it melt. When all the butter is melted, give the pan a final stir.
• When you plate the patties, spoon the onion mushroom sauce over each patty.
• Garnish with fresh chives.
• Enjoy!

PECAN AND MUSHROOM BURGER WITH BLUE CHEESE SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine yogurt, blue cheese, chives (if using) and dressing in a small bowl and blend with a fork to make a chunky sauce. Refrigerate it while you make the burgers; it will keep for up to 2 days.
• Place bulgur and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Pour the boiling water over, cover and set aside until the water is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Drain in a sieve, pressing out excess liquid.
• Meanwhile, spray a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and turn on stove to medium heat. Add mushrooms, onion and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring, until the vegetables are softened, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in vinegar and garlic. Immediately transfer the mixture to a plate and let cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
• Combine the vegetable mixture in a food processor; pulse briefly until coarsely chopped. Add egg; pulse briefly, scraping down the sides if necessary, until the mixture is cohesive but roughly textured. Transfer to a bowl; stir in bulgur, breadcrumbs, pecans Italian seasoning and pepper. Mix well.
• With dampened hands, form the mixture into eight 1/2-inch-thick patties, using about 1/2 cup for each. (I made mine into 13 mini burgers using a slider station).
• Place burgers on a cookie sheet (coated with cooking spray) and place under a broiler on high. Mine took 8 minutes to crisp ever so slightly and to become heated through. You can also cook them in a frying pan for 4 minutes per side (mine fell apart doing this though, that's why I put the rest of them under the broiler).
• Garnish the burgers with watercress and the blue cheese sauce, if desired.
