Ingredients
  

For the Mushroom Mixture
  • 1 Tablespoon canola or vegetable oil
  • 2 Tablespoons salted butter
  • ½ unit yellow onion (sliced thin)
  • 8 ounces baby bella or white mushrooms (washed and sliced)
  • 1 Tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 Tablespoon water
  • 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
For the Beef Patties
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 ½ teaspoons seasoning salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
For Assembly
  • 4 slices Swiss cheese Optional to add more slices
  • 4 units hamburger buns

Method
 

Prepare the Mushrooms
  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the canola oil and salted butter. Once the butter has melted and begins to bubble, add the sliced onions. Cook for about 3 minutes until they start to soften.
Sauté the Mushrooms
  1. Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and sauté them together with the onions for an additional 4 minutes until both ingredients are mostly softened and fragrant.
Create the Sauce
  1. Stir in the Dijon mustard, water, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Cook this mixture for another 4-5 minutes to reduce the sauce.
  2. Remove from heat and set aside.
Preheat the Grill
  1. While the mushroom mixture cools slightly, preheat your grill to medium-high heat, aiming for a temperature between 375-400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Prepare the Beef Patties
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with the seasoning salt, Worcestershire sauce, pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Form the Patties
  1. Divide the mixture into 4 equal pieces and shape them into patties slightly larger than the hamburger buns you will use.
Grill the Patties
  1. Place the patties on the grill and cook for 4-6 minutes on each side, depending on your desired level of doneness.
  2. In the last 2-3 minutes of grilling, place a slice or two of Swiss cheese on each patty, allowing it to melt beautifully over the top.
Assemble Your Burgers
  1. Once cooked, remove the patties from the grill. Assemble the burgers by placing a patty on a bun and topping it with a generous spoonful of the mushroom mixture.
  2. Add any additional condiments you desire and enjoy!

Notes

For juicier patties, don't overmix the ground beef when forming the patties. Allow your beef to come to room temperature before grilling for more even cooking. For a unique twist, consider adding herbs or spices to the beef mixture, like smoked paprika or dried thyme.
