Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 8 ounces Mushrooms
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 8 Romaine lettuce leaves
- 1 medium Tomato
- 0.5 Red onion
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently until the seasonings are evenly distributed.
Shape the seasoned ground beef into four equal-sized patties.
In a large skillet or sauté pan, heat 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and tender. Remove the mushrooms from the pan and set aside.
Add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the same pan and let it melt. Place the beef patties in the pan and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
Top each beef patty with a slice of Swiss cheese. Cover the pan with a lid for 1 minute to allow the cheese to melt.
To assemble the burgers, place two lettuce leaves on each plate, serving as a low-carb 'bun'. Place a beef patty with melted Swiss cheese on top of the lettuce leaves.
Distribute the sautéed mushrooms evenly over each cheese-topped patty.
Slice the tomato and red onion thinly, then add slices of each on top of the mushrooms.
Finish by topping with another couple of lettuce leaves to complete the low-carb burger.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Low Carb Mushroom Swiss Burger!
