Ingredients
Scale
Beef Patties
- 1 pound ground beef
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Mushroom and Onion Topping
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon butter
Other Ingredients
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 4 hamburger buns
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Instructions
- Preheat Grill or Skillet: Preheat your grill or stovetop skillet over medium-high heat to prepare for cooking the patties.
- Form and Season Patties: Shape the ground beef into 4 equal patties and season both sides with salt and pepper for enhanced flavor.
- Cook Mushrooms and Onions: In a separate skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms and chopped onion, cooking until onions are translucent and mushrooms are golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in butter and set aside.
- Cook Patties: Place the beef patties on the grill or skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side or until patties reach desired doneness.
- Top with Cheese: Just before patties are done, place a slice of Swiss cheese on each to allow it to melt slightly.
- Toast Buns: Toast the hamburger buns until golden brown for added texture and flavor.
- Prepare Sauce: Mix mayonnaise and Dijon mustard in a small bowl; spread generously on each half of the toasted buns.
- Assemble Burgers: Place the patties on the bottom half of each bun, top with the mushroom and onion mixture, and cover with the top bun half.
- Serve: Serve the Swiss Mushroom Melt immediately while hot for the best taste experience.
Notes
- You can substitute ground beef with ground turkey or plant-based patties for a variation.
- For extra flavor, add a splash of Worcestershire sauce to the beef before shaping patties.
- Consider adding lettuce or tomato slices for added freshness.
- To melt the cheese faster, cover the patties with a lid or foil during the last minute of cooking.
- If you prefer, cook the mushrooms and onions in the same skillet as the patties after removing them to soak up the flavors.
