Finely chop mushrooms and blend them into the ground beef. Season with salt and pepper, then form into four patties.

In a skillet or on the griddle, sauté sliced onions with butter until caramelized.
During the last minute of cooking, top patties with Swiss cheese and let melt.
Toast buns until golden. Spread garlic aioli on each bun.
Assemble the burger with the bun, patty, Swiss cheese, onions and top bun. Serve hot.

This recipe uses Crimini mushrooms

Crimini Flavor and texture

Crimini mushrooms have a stronger flavor and firmer texture than their white button counterparts. This full-bodied umami flavor and hearty texture sings in fresh applications like salads with a crisp satisfying bite. When cooked, the mushroom’s distinct flavor intensifies and lends a pleasant meaty texture to any range of dishes.
