Cuban sandwiches are famous for their unique flavors. They typically have pulled pork, ham, swiss cheese, yellow mustard, pickles, and a Cuban-style baguette. This is then grilled with a press until the cheese melts. Today I am going to try something different — making a Cuban burger that has a lot of the same flavorings.

A while back my son saw a cooking video made by Joshua Weissman that featured the In-N-Out burger. He wanted me to try making the burger. I watched the video and thought it would take me pretty much all day to make it, but I was game!

Sometimes I crave a burger, and over time I’ve learned how to make a lot of different types of them. There are so many choices! You get to make decisions over the type of bun, cheese, condiments, sauce, and type of protein (it doesn’t have to be beef!).

Most of us crave a burger once in a while. I like creating new types of burgers at home. Recently I saw that Bon Appétit magazine is sponsoring a blended burger recipe contest. The rule is to incorporate mushrooms into the patty. This sounded like a delightful challenge to me.

This week I decided to take a break from cooking with meat. I already had some items in my pantry that made this easy. I always stock up on canned beans when I am at the store. I used to make a black bean burger when I worked at my old job. The combination of flavors in the bean patty made it popular among our customers.

It seems like there is no end to possible burger recipes, and I wouldn’t bother you with another except this one is pretty unique. My house sauce is probably like nothing you’ve tasted, as it has hints of sriracha and cinnamon as well as other more standard ingredients. As you can tell from the name, this burger has mushrooms, but this is a “blended burger” meaning that the mushrooms get into the burger in a creative way.

When I first came to the United States and was a student, I worked at a McDonald’s fast food restaurant for a period of time. Their most famous sandwich is probably the Big Mac. This is a towering sandwich with two patties and three buns. This was too much for me (and still is!) but there is something about the unique flavor of the Big Mac sauce that I have always liked. When I took my lunch break, I would ask my co-workers to make a regular hamburger for me, but with the Big Mac sauce that I liked. I don’t know if that is something that you can still do, but for me it’s what I liked at McDonald’s back then.

I am always searching for a mouth-watering burger. I love going to burger joints and trying out new burgers with rich and unusual flavors. My husband likes his burgers traditional with ketchup, mustard, tomatoes, lettuce, and pickles. My son and I like novel blends of spices, sauces, and toppings like mushrooms or tomato corn salsa.

I am a sucker for cooking contests and love to enter them. I recently entered this recipe into Bon Appétit’s blended burger contest. The requirement was that the burger mix be at least 25% chopped fresh mushrooms.
