A delicious Beef burger with Mushrooms incorporated into the patty.

Mushrooms are a great way to stretch the budget and make more patties. Plus they add flavor to the patty. These are the simplest patties to make.

Add Caramelized onions. and they are irresistible.

The Recipe Intro contains more info as well as a VIDEO on how to make these burgers. Check it out.

Ingredients:

Minced beef (lean meat), rinsed and drained		500 grams-600 gms
Choice whole mushrooms		¾ cup /1 can
Freshly ground black pepper		¹⁄8 tsp
Ground nutmeg		¹⁄8 tsp
Worcester Sauce		3 ¼ tsp
Garlic, minced		1 tsp
Yellow Onion, minced		½ cup
Egg		1
Bread, soaked in milk		1 piece of
Butter		2 Tbsp
Dried thyme		1/4-1/2 tsp
Salt		A dash

To Assemble, you will need the following:

Burger Buns, halved		8
Mozzarella natural Cheese slices		As needed
Mayonnaise, Thousand Island dressing, Ketchup, Dill Pickle, onion, Tomato, Iceberg lettuce, Mild American Mustard		As required,

Method:

Squeeze out water from mushrooms and Process till matches the beef mince. Gently process the mince along with it if it contains more fat.
Squeeze out the milk from the bread. Combine all remaining ingredients gently with a ladle or hands. Do not over-mix.
Form into patties on waxed paper (around 8 large patties).
Make sure the center is slightly more indented than the border – this keeps the patties from shrinking while grilling.
Place in freezer on a a tray lined with parchment, to set.
Lightly grease the griddle pan with oil/butter. Griddle pan, Toast the inside of the buns slightly, about 30 seconds.(or use air fryer)
Toast the insides of the buns in a pan with a little olive oil or butter and aside.
Arrange patties on the grill pan. Cook 2-3 minutes on one side, sprinkling salt as soon as you lay them down. (Medium heat).
Turn over. Salt and cook for 2-3 minutes on the other side also.

To Assemble:

TOP Bun ( The bun that goes on top of the burger ie, the crown):

Lay it toasted side upwards and spread toppings, follow this order:

1 Tbsp Mayonnaise( I like Hellman’s)
1 Tbsp Ketchup (I like Heinz)
3 slices dill pickle
2-3 rings of freshly sliced white/yellow onion
1 large round slice of tomato
3 Iceberg lettuce leaves

(See edit below)

Bottom Bun:

4 squirts of American mustard (I like Masterfoods), spaced evenly
As the patties finish cooking tilt the pan, press the patty to expel excess oil, and set on top of the assembled bun
If you like cheese on your burger, add it on top of the warm patty and then cover with the bottom bun.

Edit 2023: I now make these burgers, adding two layers of Caramelized onions, and spreading the top and bottom buns with a mix of mayo and thousand island dressing. No mustard or pickle. Thyme is added to the patties.Mozzarella Cheese slices top the hot patties. I also use the Airfryer to cook each patty at a time at 200c for 15-17 minutes, flipping after 10 minutes. They are even yummier than before.
