Description
A simple recipe for a classic burger topped with sautéed mushrooms and melted Swiss cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 4 hamburger buns
- Butter, for toasting buns
Instructions
- Mix ground beef with salt and pepper. Form into four equal patties.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and onion. Sauté until mushrooms are browned and liquid has evaporated, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- Cook burgers on a grill or in the same skillet over medium-high heat to your desired doneness, about 4-5 minutes per side for medium.
- Place one slice of Swiss cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking. Cover briefly to melt the cheese.
- Lightly butter the cut sides of the buns and toast them until golden brown.
- Assemble the burgers: place a cheese-topped patty on a bottom bun, top with the sautéed mushroom and onion mixture, and place the top bun on.
Notes
- You can use any type of mushroom you prefer.
- For juicier burgers, avoid pressing down on them while cooking.
