Ingredients
Scale
Beef Mixture
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
- 1 cup finely chopped mushrooms (cremini or button)
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs
- Salt and pepper to taste
Toppings (Optional)
- Cheese slices
- Olive oil (for sautéing)
Instructions
- Chop vegetables: Finely chop the mushrooms and onion to prepare them for sautéing, ensuring even cooking and flavor blending.
- Sauté vegetables: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped mushrooms and onions, sautéing until they become soft and fragrant, approximately 5 minutes.
- Mix ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the sautéed mushrooms and onions with ground beef, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined to maintain a tender burger texture.
- Form patties: Shape the meat mixture into equal-sized patties about one inch thick, ensuring consistent cooking times.
- Preheat grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat to prepare for cooking the burgers.
- Grill patties: Cook each patty on the grill for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your preferred level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check if needed.
- Add cheese (optional): In the last minute of grilling, place cheese slices on top of each patty to melt for a delicious cheesy finish.
Notes
- Use cremini or button mushrooms for best flavor; finely chopping helps them blend well with the beef.
- Do not overmix the meat to keep burgers tender and juicy.
- Breadcrumbs help bind the patties but can be substituted with oats or crushed crackers if preferred.
- Adjust cooking time depending on grill heat and desired doneness.
- Serve on buns with your favorite toppings and condiments.
