Pre Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total time: 30 minutes
Yield: 2-4 Servings
Ingredients:
- 1 pound Felton Angus Beef ground beef
- 2 Tablespoons avocado oil
- 2 Tablespoons butter
- Salt and pepper + your favorite beef rub
- 1 onion, sliced
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 4 hamburger buns
Directions:
- Divide ground beef into 4 even portions. Loosely form into balls with your hands (do not overwork or smash into patties with your hands). Place in refrigerator until ready to cook.
- Heat griddle or large cast iron skillet over medium low heat with 1 Tablespoon avocado oil and 1 Tablespoon butter.
- Add onions, stirring occasionally until translucent 2-3 minutes.
- Add mushrooms, season with salt and pepper and stir to combine with onions. Sautee for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from heat of skillet or turn one side of big griddle off and push mushroom and onion mixture to offside.
- Butter both sides of buns and place face down in skillet or on griddle. Cook until browned and toasty. Set aside or push to offside of big griddle.
- Increase heat to medium to medium-high. Get it hot! Heat 1 Tablespoon avocado oil and 1 Tablespoon butter. Place 2-4 ground beef balls into hot skillet (all 4 if using a bigger skillet or griddle).
- Using a heavy, flat spatula (or grill press), smash the burgers very flat.
- Season with salt & pepper. Cook undisturbed until edges are browned, 2-3 minutes.
- Flip patties. Cook 1 minute.
- Add mushroom and onion mixture to each smashed burger patty. Top with cheese. Cook until cheese melts and to desired doneness (1 minute for medium-rare).
- Place mushroom Swiss burgers on buns in single or double stacks.
- Serve with fries and a side salad.
