Mushroom Swiss Burger

Mushroom Swiss Burger is a delightfully juicy burger that’s topped with savory sautéed mushrooms and melted Swiss cheese. It’s not heavy or overly complicated either. I think it’s a perfect summertime or barbecue dish, and if you’re not a fan of mushrooms, feel free to omit them.

It will still be undeniably delicious! If you’re looking for a flavorful and satisfying meal that’s not overly complicated, you’ve come to the right place.

I’ve really been in the mood for grilling season to arrive and this hearty burger reminds me of summer barbecues. Not a fan of mushrooms? Don’t worry, it’s still delicious without them.

Kitchen Equipment Needed

• Skillet
• Grill or grill pan
• Spatula
• Mixing bowl
• Knife and cutting board
• Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• 4 slices Swiss cheese
• 1 cup sliced mushrooms (cremini or button)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 4 hamburger buns
• Lettuce, tomato, and onion for serving (optional)
• Condiments of choice (e.g., mayonnaise, mustard, ketchup)

Directions

1. Prepare the Mushrooms:
   • Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they are tender and browned, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.
2. Make the Burger Patties:
   • In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat. Form the mixture into four equal patties.
3. Grill the Patties:
   • Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill the burger patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
4. Add the Cheese:
   • During the last minute of grilling, place a slice of Swiss cheese on each patty. Cover the grill or pan to melt the cheese.
5. Assemble the Burgers:
   • Toast the hamburger buns on the grill for about 1-2 minutes, if desired. Place each burger patty on the bottom bun, top with the sautéed mushrooms, and add any additional toppings such as lettuce, tomato, and onion. Spread condiments on the top bun as desired and assemble the burgers.
