Mushroom and Swiss Burger Ingredients

• Ground Beef: I’m using 80/20 ground beef for this swiss mushroom burger. You can use a leaner beef if you’d like.
• Burger Seasoning: Try my famous burger seasoning – I can proudly say it’s the best and use it for everything from this mushroom swiss burger to my Juicy Lucy burgers.
• Butter: I recommend unsalted butter. If you only have salted, use less salt when seasoning.
• Worcestershire Sauce: One of the tricks that makes this burger truly special!
• Salt and Black Pepper: I recommend kosher salt or sea salt flakes, plus freshly ground black pepper. I advise against table salt, which can add an unwanted metallic flavor to your food when cooked.
• Swiss Cheese: You can also use any cheese of your choice, really! But Swiss is of course the perfect choice for a Swiss and mushroom burger.
• Buns: I like to use Brioche buns for this recipe, and recommend them, but you can use your favorite hamburger buns.

How to Make a Mushroom and Swiss Burger

1. Preheat the grill over medium heat. Form ground beef into four even patties, then season each patty with burger seasoning on all sides.
2. In a skillet or frying pan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add sliced mushrooms and sauté for 5 minutes.
3. Add sliced onions, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper to the same skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes until softened. Remove from the skillet and keep warm on a plate with aluminum foil over top.
4. Add patties to the grill. Grill for 8 minutes on one side, then flip and grill for about 6-8 minutes on the other side or until cooked through. 
5. Top with a slice of swiss cheese and let the heat from the grill melt it.
6. Remove patties from the grill. Place each patty onto a brioche bun, and top with sautéed mushrooms and onions.
7. Place the top bun on the burger. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Stovetop Instructions

You can easily cook these burgers on the stove in a cast iron skillet instead of on the grill.

1. Lightly grease your pan with olive oil and sear seasoned burgers for about 6 minutes on the first side, and about 8 on the opposite side over medium-high heat.
   
2. In a skillet or frying pan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add sliced mushrooms and sauté for 5 minutes. You can use the same skillet with the burgers set aside and kept warm, or use a separate skillet to cook them at the same time.
   
3. Add sliced onions, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper to the same skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes until softened. Remove from the skillet and keep warm on a plate with aluminum foil over top.
   
4. When the burgers are just about cooked, add your mushrooms and onions and Swiss cheese and lower the heat to medium-low. Cover the pan with a lid and allow the cheese to melt.
   

Mushroom Swiss Burgers Tips

• Make sure not to overcook your burgers. About 6-8 minutes per side will give you a beautiful burger every time.
• One slice of Swiss cheese is enough, but if you want an extra cheesy burger, you should use at least 2, if not 3, slices of Swiss.
• We used 80/20 ground beef, but if you want a leaner burger, you can use lean ground beef, 90/10 ground beef.
• You can make a burger in the air fryer for a fresh new way to make your burgers! Try our air fryer burger recipe.
• Follow my tips on how to make the perfect caramelized onions.

Sauce for Mushroom Swiss Burgers

We use sautéed mushrooms and onions as our mushroom swiss burger sauce recipe, and let me tell you, that flavor combination? It is out of this world!

The freshness of the onions and mushrooms, combined with the melted Swiss cheese, takes this homemade mushroom swiss burger over the top! The onions and mushrooms cook up in only 10 minutes, so they’re ready for your burger in no time.

I also love using thinly sliced portobello mushrooms in this recipe. They add so much to the depth of flavor.

The most important part of cooking burgers is making sure the internal temperature is just right. That means using a meat thermometer, and knowing what you’re looking for! Follow my handy chart above for exact temps. See my guides to beef temps and burger temps.
