Forestiere Burger Recipe



The Forestiere Burger is a tasty variation on the standard burger. It has a mushroom and onion mixture that is mixed into the beef patty. The burger is tasty and filling, and it's great for any event.

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/2 lb mushrooms, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 4 burger buns
  • 4 slices Swiss cheese
  • Lettuce leaves
  • Tomato slices
  • Mayonnaise
  • Ketchup
  • Mustard

Instructions:

Add the chopped mushrooms, onions, and garlic to a skillet

Cook over medium-low heat until the mushrooms are soft and the liquid has evaporated

I think this will take 8 to 10 minutes

Add pepper and salt, then set it aside to cool

Put the ground beef and the cooled mushroom mixture in a bowl and mix them together

Mix everything together well

Split the mixture in half and shape each half into a burger patty

Warm up your grill or pan on the stove by setting it on medium-high heat

Grill or cook the burger patties until they're done the way you like them

For medium-rare, they usually need about 4 to 5 minutes on each side

Put a slice of Swiss cheese on top of each patty in the last minute of cooking and let it melt

You can grill or toast the burger buns until they are just barely browned

Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun before putting the Forestiere burgers together

After the mayonnaise, put a lettuce leaf on top of it and then a tomato slice

If you want, you can add ketchup and mustard after the cooked patty is on top of the tomato

Put the other half of the bun on top, and your Forestiere Burger is ready to eat!
