Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 cup mushrooms, finely chopped
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 small onion, diced

- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
- 4 sesame seed burger buns

How to Make Cheesy Mushroom Burger
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in the chopped mushrooms and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the mushrooms are softened and any liquid has evaporated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with the cooked mushroom mixture. Mix until well combined.
- Form the mixture into four equal patties, about 1-inch thick.
- Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F.
- During the last minute of cooking, top each patty with shredded cheese and cover to melt.
- While the cheese is melting, toast the sesame seed buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.
- Assemble your burgers by placing a cheesy patty on each bun and adding a generous amount of chopped spinach. Add any additional condiments if desired.
Tips for the Best Results
- For extra flavor, consider adding Worcestershire sauce to the beef mixture.
- Don’t overcrowd the skillet or grill; cook in batches if necessary.
- Let the patties rest for a couple of minutes after cooking for juicier burgers.
Easy Variations
- Swap ground beef for ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option.
- Add sautéed bell peppers or jalapeños for an extra kick.
- Use different types of cheese like Swiss or pepper jack for varied flavors.
What to Serve With It
- Crispy French fries or sweet potato fries
