Amazing Swiss Mushroom Burger
When grilling season rolls around, I get so excited to make this grilled burger! Grilled burgers have so much flavor and a sear unlike any other. They’re perfect for backyard BBQ dinners and making everyone in the neighborhood jealous! 😉
This mushroom burger recipe is the best of the best. Not only will everyone wonder what that amazing smell is, but every bite is irresistibly flavorful. Sauteed mushrooms and onions, Swiss cheese, and lean beef patties on brioche buns. It’s a burger dream come true!
I also love smoking and two of our favorites are smoked brisket and smoked prime rib. They make for a fun and delicious get-together for family and friends.
This was sooo good! I will keep this one! Thank you

Thanks so much, Kristin! We're so glad you enjoyed it!
Lisa says
Would baby bellas work? Calls for white mushrooms. Flavor??
Em Beitel says
Hi Lisa! You can use any kind of white mushrooms you like - baby bellas would work perfectly. Thank you for your question!
Gina Mottier says
Absolutely delicious swiss mushroom burger. I made this recipe but substituted little pub burgers on buttered slider buns by Pepperidge farms. Was so delicious.
Em Beitel says
Thank you, Gina! That's awesome!
Charles says
I always put my mushrooms under the cheese. It keeps them in place.
Em Beitel says
That is a great suggestion, Charles. Thank you!
Marty says
I generally agree with the placement suggestion. Another idea is to make a simple Swiss cheese sauce and allow the guests to take as much of the mushrooms/onions and Swiss cheese sauce as they want before eating. This allows everyone to layer as they desire and have fun! No ketchup eaters with this recipe, though, right? I had a brother-in-law who put ketchup on EVERYTHING! Even ice cream, I swear. Thanks for posting!
Em Beitel says
Thanks so much, Marty! These are great suggestions. We're glad you enjoyed it - without ketchup! 😂
Gail Conder says
Great idea. I’ll have to remember that next time.
Gail Conder says
Best burger. My husband said it’s the best mushroom Swiss burger and I agree.
Em Beitel says
Thank you so much, Gail! We're so glad you and your husband both enjoyed it!
