The ground beef (80/20) gives the burger a rich flavor and juicy texture. The 80/20 ratio means 80% lean meat and 20% fat, perfect for grilling. Swiss cheese adds a creamy touch. I love shredding it for easy melting. Finely chopped mushrooms bring an earthy flavor that pairs well with beef. Minced garlic and onion provide a savory base with great aroma. For seasonings, Worcestershire sauce adds depth. Black pepper and salt enhance the meat’s flavor without overpowering it. Olive oil is perfect for sautéing the onions and mushrooms, making them tender and delicious. For assembly, fresh burger buns are a must. They hold all the flavors together. Toppings like lettuce, tomato, and pickles add crunch and freshness. Each ingredient plays a role in creating a burger that’s not just good, but truly mouthwatering. 1.

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions. 5. Shape each portion into a flat patty. 6. In the center of each patty, place about 1/4 cup of shredded Swiss cheese. 7. Fold the edges of the patty around the cheese, sealing it in completely. 8. Reshape to ensure a uniform patty. 1. Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. 2.

This helps the meat stay moist. Handle the meat gently. Overworking can make burgers tough. For cooking time, grill each side for 5-6 minutes for medium doneness. Adjust time if you like your burger less or more cooked. Season your beef mix well. You can add more Worcestershire sauce or some hot sauce for a kick. If you want extra flavor, throw in some herbs like thyme or parsley. You can also mix in cooked bacon bits or diced jalapeños for a fun twist. To melt cheese well, add it in the last minute of cooking. Cover the burgers with a lid or foil to trap the heat. This helps the cheese melt evenly. If you don’t have Swiss cheese, try cheddar, blue cheese, or pepper jack. Each will add a unique taste to your stuffed burger. {{image_2}} You can switch up the cheese in your mushroom Swiss stuffed burgers. Cheddar adds a sharp bite. Blue cheese gives a rich, tangy flavor. For a spicy kick, try pepper jack. Each cheese brings a unique taste that makes your burger special. Feel free to mix and match these options.

Preheat it to 350°F (175°C). Place the burgers on a baking sheet and cover them with foil. This keeps them moist. Heat for about 10-15 minutes. You can also use a skillet on low heat. Just flip the burgers occasionally to avoid drying them out. You can freeze both uncooked and cooked patties. For uncooked patties, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil. This helps prevent freezer burn. For cooked patties, let them cool completely before wrapping. To thaw, move the patties from the freezer to the fridge overnight. This keeps them safe and tasty. To check if your burgers are done, use a meat thermometer. For medium doneness, aim for 160°F (71°C) inside the burger. If you don’t have a thermometer, press the burger gently with a spatula. If the juices run clear, they are likely done. Be careful not to overcook them. Overcooked burgers can be dry. Yes, you can prepare these burgers ahead. Shape the patties and stuff them with cheese.

Ingredients
  

1 lb ground beef (80/20)

1 cup Swiss cheese, shredded

1 cup mushrooms, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 small onion, finely chopped

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon salt

Burger buns

Lettuce, tomato, and pickles for topping

Olive oil for sautéing

Instructions
 

In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onions and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

    Add the minced garlic and chopped mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté until the mushrooms release their moisture and become tender, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

      In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, sautéed mushroom mixture, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, and salt. Mix gently until just combined; be careful not to overwork the meat.

        Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a flat patty. In the center of each patty, place about 1/4 cup of shredded Swiss cheese.

          Fold the edges of the patty around the cheese, sealing it in completely. Reshape to ensure a uniform patty.

            Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the burgers for about 5-6 minutes on each side for medium doneness, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.

              During the last minute of cooking, toast the burger buns on the grill or skillet until golden.

                Once cooked, remove the burgers from the heat and let them sit for a couple of minutes to allow the cheese to melt properly.

                  Assemble the burgers on toasted buns and top with lettuce, tomato slices, and pickles as desired.
