Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef (preferably 85% lean)
• 4 slices Swiss cheese slices
• 1 cup Cremini mushrooms, sliced
• 1 tablespoon Low sodium Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 buns Whole wheat hamburger buns
• 4 leaves Lettuce leaves
• 1 medium Tomato, sliced

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, low sodium Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Mix until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure the burgers remain tender.

Step 2

Divide the mixture into four equal parts and shape them into patties about 3/4 inch thick. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to prevent them from puffing up during cooking.

Step 3

In a skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add sliced cremini mushrooms and sauté until they are golden brown and tender, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the mushrooms from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet or on a preheated grill, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil if needed and cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) for well-done.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Toast the whole wheat buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster, if desired.

Step 7

Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of the bun, followed by the cheeseburger patty, sautéed mushrooms, and a slice of tomato. Top with the other half of the bun.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious low sodium mushroom Swiss hamburger!
