It is literally impossible for me to make this or any kind of burger recipe without quoting the scene from the reboot of the Pink Panther, where inspector Jacques Clouseau (played by Steve Martin) is trying to learn to speak with a more Americanized accent. I’m sure Lauren (and most likely our neighbors) must find it annoying. However it is a very satisfying phrase to half yell in your best/worst French accent, go ahead try it…see wasn’t that fun?
This is one of those recipes I make all the time for myself. It reminds me of a more nutritious version of the countless hamburger helper meals I made until I learned how to cook. If it hadn’t been for hamburger helper and my George Foreman grilled chicken breasts my diet would’ve limited to take-out, scrambled eggs, and chex mix. Thankfully I am much more confident in the kitchen nowadays and these Keto Cheeseburger Stuffed Portobello Mushroom Caps are simple, delicious, and hit the spot every time.

I plan to make these for dinner. I hope they are half as good as the laugh I had watching Steve Martin saying he would like to buy a hamburger. I have not stopped saying this since I watched it. Thanks for the recipe. I look forward to trying it.
