Mushroom & Onion BBQ Burger 🍔

 PREP TIME: 1 hr      

COOK TIME: 20 min      

SERVES: 4

Ingredients 

- 1/4 cup of butter

- 2 onions sweet 🧅 onion or yellow

- About 3 cups of mushrooms 🍄 

- 2 tblsp Maple BBQ rub

- 1 pound Hamburger meat 🥩 

- 4 slices of Swiss cheese

- BBQ sauce

- 4 Toasted Hamburger buns

Directions

 Place 1/8th of the butter in a skillet and caramelize your onions.       It’s a lot at first but it goes down a lot. 

Use the other 1/8th butter to sauté 

the mushrooms.

Mix the rub into the hamburger 

meat and make 4 patties.

I make one at a time, But if you 

have room for more than add more.

On my skillet at medium heat it takes

3 min on each side to be perfect, 140°.

Put the cheese on the last minute and 

a half. Pay attention to your temp for your Stove top or grill to get the right temp for the type of burger you want. At 120° the burger is rare, at 130° it’s a medium rare, at 140° it’s medium, at 150° it’s a medium well and add 160° it’s well done. At 140° there is no pink. 

Meanwhile toast your bun.

When patty is done place on your bun. Then add BBQ sauce, then onions, then mushrooms and 

then your top bun. 

Serve with your choosing; chips, 

coleslaw, salad, potato salad, fries, 

veggies, corn on the cob, macaroni 

salad, Broccoli salad, Mac n cheese, 

BBQ baked beans.

8. Serve and enjoy

Cheese Burger on a skillet

I like to season my patties with Garlic powder, seasoning salt and onion powder. Sometimes I add chopped onion in there too. I use 93/7 hamburger meat. Most people use 80/20 for the fat, but I try to make things healthier when I can. Plus everyone always compliments our burgers. So we must be doing it right! I make 4 patties from a pound of meat. 

Use a nice skillet  to make sure you get that nice brown caramelization on the patty. It gives it great flavor.  Do not touch it for 4 min then flip and leave for another 4 min. That will give you a no pink patty. If you want it medium then do 3 min by 3 min. Rare then 2 by 2. Always check by temp as well to see if its where you want it. 

Melt the cheese with a metal bowl on top or a lid for the last 30 seconds. Add the toppings of your choice. This time I added;
