Ingredients
Mushroom Mixture
- 1 Tablespoon canola or vegetable oil
- 2 Tablespoons salted butter
- ½ yellow onion, sliced thin
- 8 ounces baby bella or white mushrooms, washed and sliced
- 1 Tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 Tablespoon water
- 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
Burger Patties
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 ½ teaspoons seasoning salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 4 hamburger buns
Instructions
- Prepare the Mushroom Mixture: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the canola oil and salted butter. Once the butter has melted, add the thinly sliced onions and cook for about 3 minutes to begin softening them.
- Sauté Mushrooms and Onions: Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and continue to sauté for 4 more minutes until both onions and mushrooms are mostly softened.
- Add Seasonings and Simmer: Stir in the Dijon mustard, water, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 4 to 5 minutes to reduce the liquid and fully soften the vegetable mixture. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Preheat the Grill: Light your grill and preheat it to medium-high heat, aiming for a temperature of 375 to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Mix Burger Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, seasoning salt, Worcestershire sauce, pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently using your hands or a wooden spoon until just combined to avoid toughening the meat.
- Form Patties: Divide the meat mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty slightly larger than your hamburger buns for proper shrinkage during cooking.
- Grill Patties: Place the patties on the preheated grill and cook each side for 4 to 6 minutes, adjusting time based on your desired doneness. For medium-well, aim for an internal temperature of 150°F. During the last 2 to 3 minutes of grilling, place one or two slices of Swiss cheese on each patty to melt.
- Assemble Burgers: Place grilled patties on the hamburger buns and top each with a generous spoonful of the prepared mushroom and onion mixture. Add condiments to taste and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the patties reach a safe internal temperature.
- For juicier burgers, avoid overmixing the meat when forming patties.
- The mushroom mixture can be made ahead and reheated just before serving.
- Swiss cheese pairs well with the umami flavors of mushrooms but feel free to substitute with cheddar or provolone if preferred.
- Toast buns on the grill for added texture and flavor.
