Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 tablespoon avocado oil
- 8 ounces baby bella mushrooms sliced
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 lb grass-fed 80% lean ground beef
- 4 Swiss cheese 1 ounce slices
- 8 lettuce leaves
Instructions
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)
- Melt the butter and oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Once the butter is melted, add the mushrooms, salt, and black pepper, and cook until the mushrooms are browned, about 12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- While the mushrooms cook, cook the burgers. Shape the meat into 4 patties. Preheat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high to high heat. Once hot, add the patties and turn the heat down to medium to medium-high. Cook the burgers for 4 minutes on each side, flipping once.
- Once the burgers are cooked, place 1 slice of cheese on each burger. Turn off the heat, drape a piece of foil on top of the burgers, and let the cheese melt.
- Serve each burger on a bed of 2 lettuce leaves and top with mushrooms. Garnish with parsley, if desired.
