How to Cook Up a Super Mario-style 1UP Mushroom Burger

by Terrence O'Brien on January 2, 2009 at 03:32 PM

Give Yourself Extra Lives with 1UP Mushroom Burger
We haven't figured out if eating these 1UP burgers will actually give us extra lives, but we can guarantee that we will be cooking up plenty of these in the Switched kitchen in the coming days.

Potential genius, Karen Chu, has posted instruction on the DIY resource Instructables.com detailing how to create a mushroom burger that looks like the life-giving 1UP mushroom from 'Super Mario Bros.' Creating the burgers takes a little time, but they don't seem particularly difficult to make. Of course, you could make it even easier by simply using ground chuck (accept no substitutes!) to make nice round burgers of your own instead of the veggie patties included in this recipe.

All you need is some mozzarella, green food coloring, and some nice big round buns. Now get cracking, and let us know if you come right back to life the next time you have a run-in with a goomba. [From: Instructables, Via: Neatorama]
