7 Layer Tex-Mex Mushroom Burger

Yum
I've had so much fun creating blended burgers for 
Their challenge is to create the best blended burger for your next football party or tailgate session using their method of blending:
"Create delicious, healthy meals with one simple ingredient – mushrooms. Research shows that people who eat mushrooms have better diet quality and increased intake of some nutrients, making them the go-to ingredient for delicious family meals. It’s never been easier to use mushrooms to transform meals, starting with those that may already be in the weekly rotation. Simply chop mushrooms to match the texture of ground meat – beef, pork, chicken, turkey (or tofu) – and use in place of some of the meat in recipes such as burgers, tacos, meatloaf, lasagna, pasta sauce, or meatballs to make every day dishes more healthful and delicious. This technique is referred to as The Blend."
My first entry took 7 Layer Dip and Blended Burgers and mashed them together. Cook the burgers, toast the buns and let your guests top theirs themselves while you sit back and enjoy the game!
7 Layer Tex-Mex Mushroom Burger
 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
12 ounces cremini (baby portobello) mushrooms
2 large garlic cloves, minced
1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon creole seasoning
1 pound lean ground beef
5 bakery hamburger buns

For the Toppings Bar:
 shredded cheddar cheese
re-fried beans
sliced avocado
sour cream
assorted salsas
diced red onion
pickled jalapenos
cilantro

Heat 1 Tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Roughly chop mushrooms and add them to the hot oil. Cook for 10 minutes or until mushrooms have browned and softened. Add the garlic and sauté for 2-4 more minutes. Place sautéed mushrooms in a large mixing bowl and set aside to allow them to cool.
To the large mixing bowl with the sautéed mushrooms, add the Worcestershire sauce, creole seasoning and ground beef. Mix thoroughly to combine and shape the meat mixture into 5 patties. Heat the remaining Tablespoon of oil in the pan. Once oil is hot add patties to pan and cook 5-7 minutes or until a brown crust has formed on the underside of the patty. Flip burgers over and cook another 3 minutes.
Place cheese on each burger and continue to cook, until melted, for 2-4 minutes.
Toast the buns until nicely golden brown.
Set out the burgers, buns and assorted toppings and let your guests have fun making their own creations!
