1 cup chopped mushrooms

2 tablespoons ketchup

Directions
Break each string cheese stick into thirds and place in a blender or food processor--blend at high speed until shredded (or pull into shreds and roughly chop).

Bring a large skillet sprayed with nonstick spray to medium-high heat.  Cook and stir vegetables until softened, about 5 minutes.

Transfer veggies to a large bowl.  Add beef, ketchup, and seasonings.  Thoroughly mix.  Evenly form into 4 patties.

Bring a grill pan (used gas grill) sprayed with nonstick spray to medium-high heat.  Cook patties for 4 to 8 minutes per side or until cooked to your preference.  Reduce heat to medium low.  Evenly top patties with sauce, cheese, and pepperoni.  Cook until sauce is hot and cheese has melted, about 2 minutes.
