This recipe takes a classic backyard favorite and gives it a rich, savory twist with sautéed mushrooms, melted Swiss cheese, and a juicy beef patty cooked over an open flame.

Mushrooms bring depth and hearty texture to every bite, while Swiss cheese adds a smooth, nutty finish that pairs beautifully with grilled beef. Together, they create a burger that feels satisfying enough for a weekend cookout yet approachable enough for a casual dinner on the patio. Whether you're hosting friends or enjoying a quiet evening outdoors, this recipe offers a great reason to fire up the grill and make the most of the season.

Juicy Mushroom Burgers with Swiss Directions

1. Combine the mushrooms and onion in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped.

3. When the oil is shimmering hot, add the mushroom mixture plus ½ tsp of the salt.
4. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms have lost most of their moisture and are starting to brown, about 10 minutes, then scrape into a heat-safe bowl to cool slightly.

6. Use your hands to form four patties about ¾” thick.
7. Wipe out the skillet and return it to medium-high heat with the remaining 1 tbsp of oil.
8. When shimmering hot, add the burgers and cook undisturbed until they flip easily with a spatula, about 4 minutes.
9. Flip and continue cooking on the other side until browned, about 4 minutes more.
10. Top burgers with cheese and cover.
11. Cook to an internal temperature of 165ºF.
