Ingredients
  

Main
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 1 cup sliced onions
  • 4 slices cheddar cheese
  • 4 hamburger buns
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: lettuce tomato, pickles, mayonnaise

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Spatula
  • Meat thermometer
  • Baking sheet
  • Chef's knife
  • Cutting board

Method
 

  1. Start by slicing your mushrooms and onions.
  2. Shape the ground beef into four equal patties and make a slight indentation in the center of each patty.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Add the patties to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side.
  5. Remove the cooked patties and set aside. In the same skillet, add mushrooms and onions, cooking until they are tender and caramelized.
  6. Place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty, and return the patties to the skillet. Cover for a couple of minutes to melt the cheese.
  7. Toast the hamburger buns on a baking sheet under the broiler.
  8. Layer the sautéed mushrooms and onions on top of the cheese-covered patties and assemble on the toasted buns.
