Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20 lean-to-fat ratio)
  • 4 slices Swiss cheese
  • 8 oz cremini mushrooms (sliced)
  • 4 brioche buns (or sesame seed or potato buns)
  • 1/2 yellow onion (finely diced)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1–2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce (non-alcohol)
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon cooking oil (olive oil or vegetable oil)
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
  • Optional: fresh thyme or dried thyme (for mushrooms)

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of cooking oil.
  2. Once the butter is melted and shimmering, add the sliced mushrooms. Let them brown slightly for 2-3 minutes.
  3. Stir and continue to cook for about 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms release their moisture and brown further.
  4. Add the finely diced onion and minced garlic to the pan. Sauté for another 3-4 minutes until the onion softens and becomes translucent.
  5. Stir in 1-2 teaspoons of Worcestershire sauce, a pinch of salt, and a good grind of black pepper (and optional thyme, if using). Cook for another minute, then remove the mushroom mixture from the pan and set aside.
  6. Gently divide your ground beef into four equal portions and form each portion into a patty about 3/4 to 1 inch thick.
  7. Create a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing up during cooking.
  8. Season both sides of each patty generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  9. Wipe out the skillet or use a clean one. Heat it over medium-high heat with another 1 tablespoon of cooking oil.
  10. Once the oil is shimmering and hot, carefully place the seasoned burger patties into the pan. Cook for 3-5 minutes per side for medium-rare to medium doneness.
  11. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of Swiss cheese on top of each burger patty.
  12. Optionally, place a lid over the skillet or tent it loosely with foil for about 30-60 seconds to help the cheese melt.
  13. Once the cheese is melted, remove the burgers from the pan and let them rest on a plate for a few minutes.
  14. While the burgers are resting, toast your burger buns cut-side down in the same hot skillet for about 1-2 minutes until lightly golden.
  15. Assemble your Mushroom Swiss Cheeseburgers by placing a toasted bun bottom on your serving plate, topping it with a cheesy burger patty, spooning a generous amount of the warm sautéed mushroom and onion mixture over the cheese, and crowning with the toasted bun top.

Keywords: Handle the ground beef gently to avoid tough patties, and season generously for the best flavor. Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking mushrooms to ensure they brown properly.
