How to Make Mushroom Swiss Burgers

These are some of the easiest burgers to make! We’ll start with the mushroom topping and then cook the meat and assemble. Just follow the step-by-step instructions and you’ll see how fast these burgers come together.

For the Mushrooms

1. Sauté: Heat the butter in a skillet over medium high heat. Add in the mushrooms and shallot, saute for about 5 minutes.
2. Add Sauce and Garlic: Add in the Worcestershire sauce, garlic, and salt and pepper. Sauté another 2-3 minutes. Remove the mushrooms from heat and set aside.

For the Burger

3. Cook the Meat: Place two patties on the hot griddle or skillet and season with salt and pepper. You can cook all of the hamburgers at the same time if your griddle will fit them all.
4. Add Cheese: Cook the burgers 2-3 minutes on each side, placing a slice of the Swiss cheese on the patty once it’s been flipped. Once the patties are cooked, butter and toast the buns on the same skillet.
5. Assemble: Start by spreading mayonnaise on the bottom and top bun, place the patty with the Swiss cheese on the bottom bun, spread a generous helping of the mushrooms on top of the patty, top the burger with the top bun.
