Equipment

  • skillet
  • Pan

Ingredients
  

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter divided
  • 8 ounces white button mushrooms cleaned and sliced
  • 4 thick-cut bacon slices halved
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • Sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup finely diced onion
  • 4 slices cheddar cheese
  • 2 toasted hamburger buns
  • Fresh lettuce leaves
  • Ketchup mustard, and pickles

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prepare the Mushrooms

  • First, melt 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms, garlic powder, and soy sauce. Sauté until they become tender. This step infuses the mushrooms with flavor and enhances their natural taste.

Step 2: Cook the Bacon

  • In a separate pan, cook the halved bacon over medium heat until crispy. This might take about 5-7 minutes. Once done, transfer the bacon to a paper towel to drain excess grease. This ensures your burger doesn’t become too greasy.

Step 3: Form the Patties

  • In a bowl, mix the lean ground beef with diced onions. Season with sea salt and black pepper. Form this mixture into burger patties. This recipe yields four patties. Make sure they’re shaped evenly for consistent cooking.

Step 4: Cook the Patties

  • Heat the remaining butter in your skillet over medium heat. Add the patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan, as this can lead to steaming rather than searing.

Step 5: Add Cheese

  • Shortly before the patties finish cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty. Cover the skillet with a lid for about a minute. This helps the cheese melt perfectly.

Step 6: Assemble the Burger

  • Once everything is cooked, it’s time to build your burger! Start with a toasted bun, place your patty with melted cheese, add the sautéed mushrooms, and top it off with crispy bacon. Don’t forget your preferred fresh toppings like lettuce, ketchup, mustard, and pickles.

Step 7: Serve & Enjoy

  • Serve your masterpiece with sides like crispy fries or onion rings. Dig in and enjoy every flavorful bite of your homemade Five Guys Mushroom Burger!

Notes

Here are some helpful tips to enhance your burger-making experience:
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh mushrooms and lettuce make a significant difference in flavor. Always select the best quality.
  • Experiment with Toppings: Don’t hesitate to try new toppings. Slice up jalapeños, avocado, or even jalapeño relish!
  • Grill Option: If you have a grill, cooking the patties outside adds a lovely smokiness that enhances the flavor.
  • Resting Time: Allow the patties to rest for a few minutes before serving. This helps retain their juices.
  • Bun Choice: Brioche or pretzel buns can elevate the burger experience and add interesting taste notes.
