Ingredients
  

Sauteed Mushrooms:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 2 cups baby bella mushrooms or your favorite mushrooms sliced
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • Splash of white wine
  • 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves

Beef Patties:

  • 1 pound ground beef I use ground chuck - 1/4 lb per hamburger patty
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

Garlic Mayonnaise (Optional):

  • 2 cloves garlic crushed
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 4 slices baby Swiss cheese
  • 4 hamburger buns

Instructions
 

  • Clean, grease, and preheat the grill.

For the Mushrooms:

  • In a large skillet, heat on medium-high and add the olive oil, and butter. Once the butter has melted, add in your sliced mushrooms and salt and sweat the mushrooms until they start to soften.
  • Add in the splash of wine and sprinkle over the thyme leaves and continue to saute for another minute. Set aside until ready to use.

For the Hamburgers:

  • In a large bowl, using your hands, mix together ground beef, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce or liquid smoke until well combined.
  • Form 4 patties that are about 1/2 inch thick (can use a patty press for ease or get your hands in there and free form by hand).
  • Pop on the hot grill and grill for about 5 - 6 minutes on each side.
  • Top with a slice of Swiss cheese and let melt.

For the Garlic Mayo:

  • Mix together the mayonnaise with 2 crushed garlic cloves and keep refrigerated until ready to use.

To Assemble:

  • Simply top the bottom half of the bun with a juicy hamburger patty (cheese already melted on), add a generous helping of mushrooms. If using the garlic mayo, spread on the top half of the bun and place on top.

Notes

Can use regular mayonnaise in place of garlic mayo if you prefer or omit it completely.
If you prefer not to use the wine for the mushrooms, you can add a splash of vegetable stock or water instead.
