Equipment
- Skillet
- Mixing Bowl
- Wooden Spoon
- Grill or Stovetop Pan
Ingredients
For the Burger
- 1 lb ground beef 80/20 ratio for juiciness
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsp butter for cooking mushrooms
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms button or cremini
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce for extra umami flavor
- 2 slices Swiss cheese high-quality, for best melt
- 1 bun burger bun toasted for better texture
- 1 tbsp mayonnaise optional, for added richness
Instructions
- Season the ground beef with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Form it into a patty, ensuring it's slightly larger than the bun, as it will shrink during cooking.
- Preheat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Cook the patty for about 3-4 minutes per side until well-browned and cooked to your preferred doneness.
- While the patty is cooking, heat butter in a separate pan. Add sliced mushrooms and Worcestershire sauce. Sauté for 5 minutes until soft and browned.
- In the last minute of cooking, place Swiss cheese on the patty. Cover the pan with a lid to help the cheese melt evenly.
- Toast the burger bun lightly on the skillet or in the oven for extra texture and warmth.
- Assemble the burger by spreading mayonnaise (optional) on the bun, placing the patty with melted Swiss cheese, and topping with the sautéed mushrooms.
- Cover with the top bun, press lightly, and serve immediately. Enjoy your homemade Burger King Mushroom Swiss Melt!

Notes
For a healthier version, use lean ground beef or turkey. You can also substitute Swiss cheese with provolone for a slightly different taste.
