At the same time, it causes for an obstacle in cooking for him. My mom, sisters and I love dishes with an abundance of flavor. But, during my childhood, I remember my mom sometimes toning recipes down to avoid too much spice for my dad. After eating this burger, I thought, "I need to share this recipe with my mom because my dad would love it!" It's a good burger, but the flavors are not intense giving you basically a normal mushroom loaded cheeseburger. I personally like more tang in my burgers, but not everyone does. So, if you cook for someone who prefers a no-frills burger, try this one out on them. And, for yourself? Spice it up with a little hot sauce. 😉
Amish-Style Smothered Mushroom Burgers
Yield: 4 servings
1 1/4 lb ground beef
1 teaspoon salt, divided
1/4 teaspoon plus 1/8 teaspoon black pepper, divided
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup thinly sliced yellow onion
4 ounces sliced exotic mushrooms or 2 cups sliced button mushrooms
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
4 slices deli-style sliced cheese, such as colby-jack cheese
4 onion rolls, split, lightly toasted or grilled
Combine the beef, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Shape into 4 patties, 1/2-inch thick.
Grill the patties, 4 to 5 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 160˚F.
Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in the mushrooms, Worcestershire sauce, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper. Cook and stir for 5 minutes or until tender.
Place cheese slices over patties during the last minute of cooking. Serve mushroom burgers in rolls topped with mushroom and onion mixture.
