Ingredients

• 1 pound mixed mushrooms (such as cremini and shiitake), finely chopped
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 4 sesame seed burger buns
• 1 cup lettuce leaves
• 1/2 cup sliced red onion
• 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce (for drizzle)

How to Make Savory Mushroom Burger with Sweet Sauce

1. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and minced garlic, sautéing until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
2. Add the finely chopped mushrooms to the skillet and cook for another 5-7 minutes until they release moisture and start to brown. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Remove the mushroom mixture from heat and let it cool slightly. Then, transfer it to a mixing bowl.
4. Stir in the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce until well combined. Form the mixture into four patties.
5. In the same skillet, heat a little more olive oil over medium heat. Cook the mushroom patties for about 5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and heated through.
6. While the patties are cooking, toast the sesame seed buns until golden.
7. Assemble the burgers by placing a mushroom patty on the bottom half of each bun. Top with lettuce, sliced red onion, and a generous drizzle of sweet chili sauce.
8. Cap with the top half of the bun, serve immediately, and enjoy!

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure the mushrooms are finely chopped to help the patties hold together.
• Let the mixture cool before forming patties for better texture.
• Adjust the sweetness of the sauce to your liking; you can add more chili sauce for a spicier kick.
• For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding spices like smoked paprika or cumin to the mushroom mixture.

Easy Variations

• Swap the sweet chili sauce for your favorite BBQ sauce or a homemade aioli.
• Add spinach or kale to the mushroom mixture for added nutrition.
• Experiment with different cheeses like feta or cheddar for a unique twist.
• Serve the patties on a bed of greens instead of buns for a low-carb option.

What to Serve With It

• Crispy sweet potato fries for a delicious side.
• A fresh garden salad drizzled with vinaigrette.
• Grilled corn on the cob for a summer vibe.
• Pickles or jalapeños for a tangy crunch.
