How to Make Mushroom Swiss Burgers
Prepare the mushrooms
Heat olive oil in a large skillet pan over medium heat. Add the washed and sliced mushrooms to the pan and season them with salt. 45-minute meal: In less than an hour, dinner will be ready! Moist and juicy: dry burgers no more! The burgers AND sautéed mushrooms pack moist and juicy flavor. Saute the mushrooms for 10-15 minutes, stirring minimally to make sure the mushrooms aren’t sticking to the bottom of the pan. Pro tip: In the first few minutes of the cooking time, mushrooms will release any moisture they have and that moisture will dissolve or get soaked back into the mushroom. Don’t be tempted to pour it out! When the moisture is gone and the mushrooms are glossy, remove them from the pan. If you would like crispier mushrooms, turn the heat up to high and saute for 1-2 additional minutes.
Prepare the burgers
Add the ground beef, black pepper, and salt to a bowl and gently massage the salt and pepper into the meat. Divide the beef into 4 and roll it into loose balls.
Grill Burgers
Preheat the grill to 450ºF, and lay a piece of tin foil down on the grill. Add the butter to the tin foil on the grill. When the butter is melted, add the beef balls to the butter and add the sliced white onions to the top of each ball. Gently press the onions into the beef. Allow the beef balls to cook for 2-3 minutes over direct heat.
Add Mushrooms & Swiss
Use a meat press or a sturdy grilling spatula to press the beef ball into a patty. Press the beef down until it is about ¼ -inch thick, Flip the burger over, and add about ¼ cup of mushrooms, and a slice of Swiss cheese. Grill for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Serve & Enjoy!
Remove from the grill and serve on a bun with other burger toppings. Enjoy!!
Topping Ideas
Every mushroom Swiss burger needs TOPPINGS! We recommend any (or all!? 😀 ) of the following toppings: Thermoworks Thermapen
Sautéed mushrooms (obviously!) Easy burger sauce Caramelized onions Pickles Relish Ketchup Lettuce Fried egg (make it a breakfast burger!)
Top Tips
Grill time may vary based on what type of grill you’re using: We used a charcoal grill, but these burgers can absolutely be cooked on a gas grill or even pan fried on the stove top. Perfectly Sautéed Mushrooms Make larger patties than you think: Ground meat will shrink as it cooks, so make your burger patties larger than the bun you’re serving them on. They will shrink up a bit as they cook. Choose your favorite toppings: This is YOUR burger! We’re making some recommendations for toppings that are traditional to mushroom Swiss burgers, but feel free to serve your burgers with any toppings your hear desires.
Storage
Store mushroom Swiss burger patties in the refrigerator for 3-5 days in an airtight container. We recommend storing the sautéed mushrooms separately.
How to Freeze Mushroom Swiss Burgers
Burgers are an excellent meal to prep ahead of time so that you can thaw and eat them later with little to no effort. To thaw and reheat: When you’re ready to eat, let the burgers thaw and then heat up in the oven or pan fry.
