Ingredients

Scale

Mushroom Topping:

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 8 ounces sliced mushrooms (Cremini or Baby Bella)
  • 1 small onion, sliced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Burger Patties:

  • 1 pound ground beef (80/20 blend)
  • 1 tablespoon steak seasoning (or mix of salt, pepper, garlic powder)
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Other:

  • 4 slices Swiss cheese
  • 4 hamburger buns (brioche or potato buns recommended)
  • Optional toppings: lettuce, tomato, mayonnaise, mustard

Instructions

  1. Prepare the mushroom topping: Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and onions, sautéing until they are tender and lightly browned, about 8-10 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and Worcestershire sauce and cook for an additional minute. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside and keep warm.
  2. Make the burger patties: In a bowl, combine the ground beef, steak seasoning, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix gently until just combined to avoid toughening the meat. Form the mixture into 4 patties, slightly larger than the hamburger buns since they will shrink during cooking.
  3. Cook the burgers: Heat a cast iron skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 3-5 minutes on each side. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of Swiss cheese on each patty and cover the skillet to melt the cheese thoroughly.
  4. Toast the buns: Lightly brush the cut sides of the buns with butter or oil. Toast them cut-side down on a skillet or grill until they are lightly browned and crispy.
  5. Assemble the burgers: Place a cooked patty on each bottom bun. Spoon the sautéed mushroom and onion mixture generously over the burgers. Add any desired optional toppings such as lettuce, tomato, mayonnaise, or mustard. Top with the bun crown.
  6. Serve immediately: Enjoy your Mushroom Swiss Burgers fresh and hot for the best taste and texture experience.

Notes

  • Use an 80/20 ground beef blend for optimal juiciness and flavor.
  • For a richer mushroom topping, use baby Bella mushrooms as they have a deeper flavor.
  • Allow the patties to rest for a minute after cooking to retain juices.
  • Covering the patties when melting cheese helps it melt evenly and quickly.
  • Optional toppings can be customized according to preference.
