Ingredients

The base of these burgers are beef patties that can be seasoned with your burger seasoning of choice. Sautéed mushrooms and melty swiss cheese are added on top of the burger patties. Dijonnaise sauce is used to add a creamy, tangy, rich flavor and texture to the burger. Toasted, buttery brioche buns finish off the burger to give it that restaurant quality flavor.

Instructions

Step 1: Slice the mushrooms. On medium heat, sauté the mushrooms in olive oil or avocado oil until they darken in color (golden brown) and soften, about 5 minutes.

Step 2: Form the burger patties in your hands. Burger patties should be about 1 inch thick. Press a dimple in the middle of the burger.

Step 3: Cook the burger on the stove on medium-high heat for about 3-5 minutes. Flip the burger and top with a slice of swiss cheese. Cover the pan with a lid. Cook until cheese is melted and desired internal temperature of the burger is reached.

Step 4: Place olive oil in a pan. Toast brioche buns on medium heat, about 2 minutes. Spread dijonnaise sauce on the bottom bun. Add the burger patty on top of the sauce. Top with sauteed mushrooms. Add top burger bun on top of mushrooms. Serve immediately.

Hint: add a dimple in the middle of the beef patty to reduce shrinking of your burger. Adding a dimple allows the ground beef to expand evenly when cooking and works against the meat's natural tendency to shrivel up and shrink. This is one of the best ways to keep burgers from shrinking.

How to Cook Burger Patties on the Grill

Cook the burger patties on medium heat right on the hot grill grates. Cook about 3-5 minutes with the grill lid closed, flip the burger. Add cheese on top of the burger. Close the lid to melt the cheese and cook about another 3-5 minutes. Remove burgers from grill when the internal temperature has reached your desired doneness. Too cook the mushrooms on the grill, place a grill safe pan on the grill grates and pan fry the mushrooms. This can also be done on a side burner if your grill has one.

Equipment

To make this easy recipe, you will need a large bowl to hold the meat while forming the patties. You will also need a sharp knife and cutting board. If cooking inside, a frying pan and lid is needed or a grill is needed if grilling is your chosen grilling method.

To flip the burgers, use a spatula.

Storage

Store the mushrooms and burger patties in a separate airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Store the burger buns in a sealable storage bag in a bread drawer or on the counter for up to 5 days (or until stale). Reheat and recombine when ready.

The burger ingredients do stand up well to freezing for up to 2 months. The burger buns stand up well to freezing for up to 3 months.

Top Tip

Always toast the burger bun. Toasting the bun helps keep the sauce and burger juices from penetrating the buns causing them to get soggy. Toasted buns are an easy way to assure a restaurant quality burger made from home.
