Ingredients
- 1½ lb 90% lean ground beef
- 8 oz cremini mushrooms
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 4 count brioche buns
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
Steps
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and cook 6-7 minutes until browned, then stir in minced garlic and Worcestershire for 1 minute. Scoop into a bowl.
- Shape beef into 4 patties slightly wider than the buns and press a thumbprint in the center of each. Season with garlic powder, salt and black pepper.
- Cook the patties in the same skillet over medium-high heat, 4 minutes per side, until they reach 160°F inside.
- Pile mushrooms on each patty, lay a Swiss slice on top, cover the pan, and cook 1 minute to melt the cheese.
- Toast the buns and assemble.
- Picky eaters can have a plain patty on a bun, with no mushrooms or cheese.
- Make ahead: cook the mushrooms and shape the patties up to 1 day ahead. Store them covered in the fridge.
On the side: Garlicky green beans (10 min)
12 oz green beans
- Trim the green beans. Cook in a skillet with a splash of olive oil over medium-high heat, 6 to 8 minutes, until bright and just tender.
- Stir in a minced garlic clove for the last minute and season with salt.
