Learn how to make delicious Whiskey-Glazed Mushroom Swiss Smash Burger. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.
Total Time:45 minutes
Yield:4 servings
Ingredients
1 pound ground beef (80/20 blend for juiciness)
1 cup mushrooms, sliced (button or cremini work well)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/4 cup whiskey (choose your favorite; bourbon works beautifully)
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
4 slices Swiss cheese
4 brioche buns, toasted
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
Salt and pepper, to taste
Optional: lettuce, tomato, and pickles for serving
Instructions
Start by preparing the whiskey glaze. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and sauté until golden, about 5 minutes.
Pour in the whiskey, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir to combine and let it simmer until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Divide the ground beef into four equal portions and roll each into a ball.
Place one ball of beef in the skillet and use a spatula to smash it down into a patty. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the edges are crispy, then flip.
Top each patty with a slice of Swiss cheese and a spoonful of the whiskey-glazed mushrooms. Cover the skillet with a lid to melt the cheese, about 1-2 minutes.
Spread mayonnaise on the toasted brioche buns. Place the patties on the buns and add optional toppings like lettuce, tomato, and pickles if desired.
