Ingredients
Scale
For the Patties:
- 1 pound ground beef
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Mushroom and Onion Topping:
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon butter
For Assembly:
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 4 hamburger buns
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Instructions
- Preheat the cooking surface: Preheat your grill or stovetop skillet over medium-high heat to get it ready for cooking the beef patties.
- Prepare the beef patties: Shape the ground beef into 4 equal-sized patties. Season both sides evenly with salt and pepper to enhance flavor.
- Sauté mushrooms and onions: In a separate skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and chopped onion and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are translucent and mushrooms are golden brown. Stir in the tablespoon of butter, then remove from heat and set aside.
- Cook the beef patties: Place the patties on the preheated grill or skillet. Cook each side for about 4-5 minutes or until your desired level of doneness is achieved.
- Melt the Swiss cheese: Just before the patties finish cooking, place a slice of Swiss cheese on top of each patty. Allow the cheese to melt slightly over the heat.
- Toast the buns: While the cheese melts, toast the hamburger buns until they are golden brown to add a delightful crunch and warmth.
- Prepare the mayo mustard spread: In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard until well combined. Spread this mixture generously on the toasted halves of the buns.
- Assemble the burgers: Place each cheesy beef patty on the bottom half of a toasted bun. Top with a generous spoonful of the sautéed mushroom and onion mixture, then crown with the top bun half.
- Serve immediately: Serve the Swiss Mushroom Melt burgers hot for the best flavor and texture experience.
Notes
- Use fresh mushrooms and onions for the best flavor and texture in the topping.
- Adjust salt and pepper seasoning to your taste preferences.
- For a juicier burger, avoid pressing down the patties while cooking.
- You can add lettuce or tomato if preferred for additional freshness.
- Make sure to serve immediately to enjoy melted cheese and warm buns.
