Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef (80/20 blend for juiciness)
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (button or cremini work well)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 sesame seed buns
  • Leafy lettuce (for topping)
  • Cheese slices (optional, such as Swiss or cheddar)

How to Make Creamy Mushroom Cheeseburger

  1. In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for another 5 minutes, or until they are tender and browned.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
  4. Lower the heat and pour in the heavy cream. Stir to combine and let it simmer for about 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.
  5. Meanwhile, shape the ground beef into four equal patties. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
  6. Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. If you’re adding cheese, place a slice on each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.
  7. While the patties are cooking, toast the sesame seed buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.
  8. Assemble the burger by placing a patty on the bottom half of each bun, spooning over the creamy mushroom sauce, and topping with lettuce. Add the top bun and serve immediately.

Tips for the Best Results

  • For extra flavor, consider adding Worcestershire sauce to the beef before shaping the patties.
  • Ensure the skillet is hot enough before adding the patties to get a nice sear.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan when cooking the patties; cook in batches if necessary.

Easy Variations

  • Swap out the ground beef for ground turkey or plant-based meat for a lighter or vegetarian option.
  • Add some fresh herbs like thyme or parsley to the mushroom sauce for added flavor.
  • Experiment with different types of cheese, such as blue cheese or pepper jack, for a unique twist.

What to Serve With It

  • Crispy French fries or sweet potato fries
  • A fresh green salad with vinaigrette
  • Coleslaw for a crunchy side
  • Grilled vegetables for a lighter option

Storage and Reheating

Leftover patties and mushroom sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm them gently in a skillet over low heat until heated through.
