Recipe of the week: Portabella Mushroom Burgers w/ 99¢ mushrooms this week at Safeway

Pictured here (a bit blurily) with an Avocado and Citrus Salad.  Served with lettuce, tomato, and a fresh kaiser roll.  Also, instead of buying a big block of cheese, I just cut up a Lucerne pepperjack string cheese (only 33¢!) which was totally worth it.  If you missed the mushroom sale at Safeway, just go to Ranch 99, where the portabella mushrooms are always a good deal.  A tasty and easy weeknight meal!

Portabella Mushroom Burgers
Makes 4 burgers... which serves 2 very hungry guys :)
Ready in <30min

Ingredients
4 portabella mushroom caps - 99¢ each this week at Safeway!
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon minced garlic
salt and pepper to taste
optional: 4 cheese slices

Directions
Place the mushroom caps, smooth side up, in a shallow dish.  Make sure the mushroom stems are removed so they lie flat in the dish.  In a small bowl, whisk together vinegar, oil, basil, oregano, garlic, salt and pepper.  Pour over the mushrooms.  Let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes or so, turning twice.
Preheat grill or shallow pan for medium-high heat.
Brush grill with oil.  Place mushrooms on the grill. Grill for 5 to 8 minutes on each side, or until tender.  Top with cheese during the last 2 minutes of grilling
