Print Recipe

Ingredients

  • Ground Beef (80/20 lean-to-fat ratio)
  • Salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • Cremini mushrooms (or white button mushrooms)
  • Olive oil or butter (for sautéing mushrooms)
  • Swiss cheese
  • Burger buns (preferably brioche)
  • Unsalted butter
  • Fresh garlic (minced)
  • Fresh parsley or chives (chopped)
  • Beef or vegetable broth (or water)
  • Worcestershire sauce (optional)
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Gently divide your ground beef into four equal portions and form each into a patty, about 1/2-inch thick and slightly wider than your burger bun. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty and season both sides with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced mushrooms in a single layer and cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes until they start to brown. Stir and continue to cook until they are golden and tender, about 5-7 more minutes. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
  3. Wipe out the skillet if needed and add another tablespoon of oil or butter. Return to medium-high heat and place the seasoned burger patties in the skillet. Cook for 3-5 minutes per side, depending on your desired doneness.
  4. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of Swiss cheese on each burger patty and cover the skillet to help the cheese melt.
  5. Toast your burger buns lightly in a separate skillet, under the broiler, or in a toaster.
  6. In a small saucepan, melt 1/2 cup of unsalted butter. Add minced garlic and cook over low heat for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in 1-2 tablespoons of broth or water, Worcestershire sauce if using, and chopped parsley or chives. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Assemble your burgers starting with the bottom half of a toasted bun, adding garlic butter sauce, a cheesy burger patty, sautéed mushrooms, and any additional toppings you desire. Brush the top bun with more garlic butter sauce before placing it on the burger.
  8. Serve immediately.

Nutrition

Keywords: Don't overwork the meat when forming patties to keep them tender. Sauté mushrooms in batches if necessary to avoid steaming. Always use fresh garlic for the sauce and toast the buns to prevent sogginess.
