Ingredients
Scale
1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend)
4 slices Swiss cheese
8 oz cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
2 tbsp butter or oil
4 burger buns, toasted
4 tbsp mayonnaise (optional)
2 tsp Dijon mustard (optional)
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)
Instructions
In a pan over medium heat, melt butter or heat oil. Add onions and sauté for 3–4 minutes until translucent.
Add sliced mushrooms and cook until golden and moisture evaporates, about 5–7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in parsley, if using. Remove from pan and keep warm.
Divide beef into 4 equal portions and gently shape into patties slightly larger than buns. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Preheat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Cook patties for about 4–5 minutes per side for medium doneness, flipping once. Season again mid-cooking, if desired.
About a minute before patties are done, place a slice of Swiss cheese on each so it melts while resting.
If using, spread mayonnaise and Dijon mustard on the cut sides of the toasted buns.
Assemble burgers: place patty with melted cheese on the bottom bun, top with sautéed mushrooms and onions, then the top bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Swiss Mushroom Burger while hot.
Notes
You can swap ground beef for ground turkey or plant-based patties for lighter or vegetarian options.
Mix dried herbs like thyme or rosemary into the mushrooms for extra aroma.
To reduce grease, drain mushrooms on paper towels before assembly.
Customize with toppings like lettuce, tomato, or caramelized onions for added freshness.
