Ingredients
Scale
Beef Patties
- 1 lb ground beef
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 4 hamburger buns
Mushroom Topping
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 lb mushrooms, sliced
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- Fresh thyme leaves for garnish (optional)
Additional Toppings
- Lettuce
- Tomato slices
- Condiments of choice (ketchup, mustard, mayo, etc.)
Instructions
- Preheat Grill or Grill Pan: Preheat the grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat to ensure even cooking of the burger patties.
- Form Patties: Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions and shape each into burger patties. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper to enhance flavor.
- Grill Patties: Place the patties on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium doneness. During the last minute of grilling, add a slice of Swiss cheese on each patty to melt.
- Sauté Mushrooms: While burgers cook, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release moisture and turn golden brown, about 6-8 minutes.
- Add Onions and Garlic: Add the thinly sliced onions and minced garlic to the skillet with mushrooms. Cook until onions are soft and translucent, approximately 5 minutes.
- Flavor Mushroom Mixture: Stir in Worcestershire sauce and soy sauce, allowing the mixture to simmer and meld flavors for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Toast Buns: Place the hamburger buns cut-side down on the grill for 1-2 minutes until lightly browned and warm.
- Assemble Burgers: On the bottom half of each bun, place a grilled beef patty topped with melted Swiss cheese. Spoon a generous amount of the mushroom and onion mixture over the cheese.
- Add Fresh Toppings: Top with fresh lettuce leaves, tomato slices, and condiments of your choice to enhance taste and texture.
- Garnish: Optionally, sprinkle fresh thyme leaves over the assembled burgers for a fragrant touch.
- Complete Assembly: Cap each burger with the top bun half, securing with toothpicks if necessary to keep all layers intact.
- Serve: Serve the Super Mushroom Swiss Burgers immediately while hot and juicy for the best flavor experience.
Notes
- For juicier burgers, do not overwork the ground beef when forming patties.
- Use fresh mushrooms like cremini or button for best texture and flavor.
- Customize condiments to your preference—mustard, mayo, or aioli complement well.
- You can substitute Swiss cheese with provolone or cheddar for variation.
- Grill buns briefly to add a nice crunchy texture and prevent sogginess.
