Ingredients

Scale

For the Burger Patties

  • 1 lb fresh ground beef (about 20% fat)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

For the Mushroom Topping

  • 8 oz button or cremini mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For Assembly

  • 4 slices Swiss cheese
  • 4 burger buns (regular, whole grain, or gluten-free)
  • Mayonnaise or your favorite condiments
  • Optional fresh lettuce leaves
  • Optional tomato slices

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Mushrooms: Clean and slice the mushrooms, then sauté them in butter or olive oil with minced garlic until they become golden and fragrant. Lightly season with salt and pepper, then set aside to cool slightly.
  2. Shape the Patties: Gently mix the ground beef with salt and pepper, taking care not to overwork the meat. Divide it into equal portions and shape each into patties slightly larger than your buns. Create a small indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking.
  3. Cook the Patties: Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side, flipping only once. In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of Swiss cheese on top of each patty and cover briefly to melt the cheese evenly.
  4. Assemble the Burger: Toast the burger buns briefly to add texture and warmth. Spread mayonnaise or your preferred condiments on the buns. Place the cheese-topped patties on the bottom buns, then top generously with sautéed mushrooms. Add optional fresh lettuce and tomato slices before finishing with the top buns.

Notes

  • Use quality beef with around 20% fat content for juicy, flavorful patties.
  • Do not over-handle the meat when shaping patties to avoid tough burgers.
  • Ensure mushrooms are properly caramelized for rich, sweet flavor.
  • Cover the patties briefly after adding cheese to melt it evenly.
  • Allow cooked burgers to rest a few minutes before serving to redistribute juices.
