🥄 Instructions
Note: This is an overview of the instructions. The detailed instructions are in the recipe card below.
- Make the burger patties and then heat up a large skillet with a little oil. Cook the patties for 2-3 minutes on each side.
- Place a piece of Swiss cheese on top at the last minute of cooking to melt the cheese. Remove burgers from the pan and set aside covered with a tented foil to rest.
- In the same pan, reduce the heat a notch and melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add sliced mushroom and cook stirring occasionally for about 5 minutes. If needed add the remaining butter then add sliced onion. Continue to cook until the onion caramelizes slightly. Season with salt and pepper.
- Slather the bottom bun with sauce, top with lettuce then tomato. Place burger on top then add mushroom and onion mix on top of the burger. Smear the top piece with a little sauce and place it on top of the burger.
💡 Amira's Tips
- Don't overmix your ground beef. Overmixing can make your patties dense and chewy.
- I like to use a cast iron skillet or griddle pan to get a nice sear on the outside of these burgers. If you don't have cast iron use any type of heavy-bottomed skillet.
- When you are cooking the mushrooms and the onions watch them closely as they can burn quickly.
- If you are planning to cook these burgers in advance, don't top them with cheese until you are ready to assemble them as they are easier to reheat without the cheese.
- The internal temperature of your burgers should reach 160 degrees f with an instant-read thermometer.
🧺 Storage
Store leftover burgers ️can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
⌛ Make Ahead
Shape the patties, place on a plate and cover with plastic wrap. Store in the fridge until you are ready to cook the burgers.

👩🍳 Variations

💬 FAQs
I like to reheat burger patties in a skillet on the stove top with a tablespoon of water. For a few minutes on each side.
The best way to clean mushrooms is to use a damp paper towel and gently wipe away any dirt or debris. You don't want to soak them in water as this can cause them to become soggy.
Yes! Cooked burger patties can be frozen for up to 3 months. To freeze them, let the cooked patties cool completely before transferring them to a freezer-safe container. Thaw the burgers in the refrigerator overnight and reheat them in a skillet on the stovetop with some oil.

- Divide the mixture into 4 equal parts and lightly shape into patties. Do not press or squeeze the patties.

- Place a piece of Swiss cheese on top in the last minute of cooking to melt cheese.
- Remove burgers from pan and set aside covered with a tented foil to rest.
- In the same pan, reduce heat a notch and melt 1 tablespoon butter. Add sliced mushroom and cook stirring occasionally for about 5 minutes.
- If needed add the remaining butter and sliced onion. Continue to cook until onion caramelizes slightly.

Notes
- I like to cook the onion and mushroom in the same pan I cooked the burgers in to catch some of the flavors. But to speed things up you can cook them in a separate pan while burgers are cooking.
- I highly recommend using a meat thermometer to check the doneness of your burgers. 160F is the safe temperature recommended by the USDA.
- lease check the nutrition disclaimer policy.
