Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 8 ounces cremini mushrooms
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic
• 4 slices Swiss cheese
• 8 Romaine lettuce leaves
• 0.25 red onion
• 2 tablespoons mustard

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the mushrooms. Clean and slice the cremini mushrooms. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 2

In a medium skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and a pinch of salt. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the mushrooms begin to brown and release their moisture.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic to the mushrooms. Continue to sauté for another 2-3 minutes until the mushrooms are fully cooked and the garlic is fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, 0.5 teaspoon salt, and 0.25 teaspoon black pepper. Mix gently until well combined.

Step 5

Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty about 0.5 inch thick.

Step 6

Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef patties to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they reach your desired level of doneness.

Step 7

During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of Swiss cheese on each patty and cover the skillet to melt the cheese.

Step 8

While the patties are cooking, slice the red onion thinly and prepare the lettuce leaves as the bun replacement.

Step 9

To assemble the hamburgers, place one lettuce leaf on a plate. Top with a cooked beef patty, a spoonful of the sautéed mushrooms, a few slices of red onion, and a drizzle of mustard.

Step 10

Place another lettuce leaf on top to encase the patty, forming a 'wrap'. Repeat with the remaining patties.

Step 11

Serve immediately and enjoy your low-carb mushroom Swiss hamburger!
