How to Make Mushroom and Swiss Burger Sauce?

Step 1: In heated oil, onions must be sautéed till translucent. Add 1 package, or 8 ounces, of mushrooms and saute briefly.

Step 2: Deglaze with red wine and reduce briefly. Add salt and pepper, then adjust the seasoning. Leave the mushrooms aside until they are improbable.

Step 3: Combine the mushroom soup, the last package of mushrooms, 8 ounces, and the Worcestershire sauce. Put it on a simmer and let it cook for a bit.

Step 4: Preheat your flat griddle and grease it accordingly.

Step 5: Mix the MSG, flavour enhancer, garlic salt, and ground pepper in another bowl. Set aside.

Step 6: Mix the cooled mushrooms with the ground meat until everything is evenly distributed. Try and add 1 tablespoon of your favourite seasoning blend.

Step 7: To make hamburger patties, portion 6 ounces of ground beef into balls and form them into balls. Wrapping the patties in plastic wrap will help them maintain their shape.

Step 8: Grill your patties and season both sides with the seasoning mix. Toast your hamburger buns on the grill.

Step 9: Cover the burger with the top bread and 1 tablespoon of the mushroom mixture. Do the same with the remaining patties.

Step 10: One cup of potato fries should be served beside the burger.
