This burger features a perfectly seared beef patty topped with savory sautéed mushrooms and melted Swiss cheese, all nestled in a toasted bun. It’s simple, satisfying, and just fancy enough to impress.
🧂 Ingredients (Serves 4)
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend recommended for juiciness)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 8 oz cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 4 burger buns, toasted
- Optional: mayonnaise, lettuce, caramelized onions, Dijon mustard
🔥 Instructions
Form the Patties: Divide the ground beef into four equal portions and form into patties. Season with salt, pepper, and a dash of Worcestershire sauce on both sides.
Cook the Mushrooms: In a skillet over medium heat, add butter and olive oil. Sauté the sliced mushrooms with garlic powder, salt, and pepper until browned and tender, about 7–10 minutes. Set aside.
Grill or Pan-Sear the Burgers: Heat a grill or skillet to medium-high. Cook the patties for about 3–4 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired doneness. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of Swiss cheese on each patty to melt.
Toast the Buns: Lightly toast your burger buns until golden and crisp.
Assemble the Burger: Spread mayo or Dijon on the buns if using. Add the beef patty, top with sautéed mushrooms, and finish with any extras like lettuce or caramelized onions. Serve hot!
