Mushroom Swiss Burger
Description
The Mushroom Swiss Burger centers on a beef patty cooked to preference, topped with Swiss cheese melted to creamy perfection. The mushroom sauce is made by slowly cooking onions and sliced mushrooms in butter until golden and flavorful, enhanced by Worcestershire sauce and bouillon which add savoriness and complexity. Applied generously atop the patty, the sauce adds moisture and earthiness.
Served on toasted hamburger buns, these burgers offer a balance of textures with the tender meat patty, soft buns, and the tender mushroom topping. The use of Swiss cheese adds a mild, nutty richness that complements the mushrooms well. The burger is filling and flavorful, suitable for lunch or dinner.
Adjusting the number of burgers made can help satisfy different appetites. Toasting the buns also adds a slight crispness that contrasts nicely with the softness of the patty and mushrooms.
Ingredients
Mushroom Swiss Burger Sauce:
- 1 Tablespoon butter or oil
- 1 onion small or equivalent
- 8 ounces mushrooms sliced
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon bouillon e.g. Better than Bouillon, Beef or other
Swiss Burger:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 2-3 ounces swiss cheese sliced or grated
- 4 Hamburger Bun
Instructions
- Melt the butter or oil in a frying pan, then top with the sliced onions. When they are just starting to color stir in the mushrooms, bouillon and Worcestershire sauce. Cook until everything is turning golden. Add a little water if needed but the mushrooms usually have plenty. Set aside and keep warm.
- Grill or pan fry the hamburgers on medium. When almost done, top with the cheese and let it melt (I usually cover it to help that along). Toast the buns.
- When cooked to the desired doneness (FDA would say 160 F), transfer the patties to the oasted buns. Evenly divide the mushroom mixture on top of the patties.
- Enjoy!
Notes
- For larger appetites, divide the ground beef into 3 patties instead of 4 for a thicker burger.
