Why I Love This Recipe
There’s a reason mushroom swiss burgers are a classic—they’re savory, juicy, and rich. The seasoned ground beef forms a crusty, flavorful exterior, the sautéed mushrooms bring earthiness, and the melted cheddar cuts through it all with creamy boldness. Toasted brioche buns and a slick of mayo round out this burger masterpiece.
It’s easy to customize and even easier to devour.
Ingredients
🔥 For the Burger Patties:
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend) 🥩
- 1 tsp salt 🧂
- 1 tsp black pepper 🌶️
- ½ tsp garlic powder 🧄
- ½ tsp onion powder 🧅
🧀 For the Toppings:
- 4 slices cheddar cheese (Swiss optional if preferred)
- ½ cup sautéed mushrooms 🍄
- 1 tomato, sliced 🍅
- 1 tbsp butter 🧈
- 1 tsp fresh parsley, chopped 🌿
🍞 For the Bun:
- 2 brioche buns, toasted
- 1 tbsp mayo or your favorite burger sauce
Instructions
🔥 1. Cook the Patties
Divide ground beef into 2 equal patties, shaping them slightly wider than the bun (they shrink as they cook).
Heat a skillet or grill over high heat.
Season patties on both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Cook for 3–4 minutes per side, or until a nice crust forms and the internal temp hits your desired doneness.
🧀 2. Add Cheese & Mushrooms
Top each patty with a slice of cheddar cheese.
While the cheese melts, sauté mushrooms in butter until golden and tender. Season with a pinch of salt.
Spoon the mushrooms over the cheesy patties.
🍞 3. Toast the Buns
Butter the brioche buns and toast them cut-side down in a hot pan until golden brown.
🍔 4. Assemble the Burger
Spread mayo or sauce on the bottom bun.
Layer on sautéed mushrooms, then the cheesy beef patty.
Top with fresh tomato slices and a sprinkle of chopped parsley.
Close with the top bun and serve hot.
Tips for Success
- Use 80/20 ground beef for a juicier, more flavorful burger.
- Don’t press down the patties while cooking—it squeezes out all that juice!
- Toasted buns make all the difference—never skip it.
- Try swapping in Swiss cheese for a classic twist or add caramelized onions for more depth.

Pair this rich and savory burger with:
- A side of Dorito Casserole for crunchy-cheesy fun
