Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Begin by preparing the mushrooms. Clean and slice the cremini mushrooms. Mince the garlic cloves.
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.
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.
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, 0.5 teaspoon salt, and 0.25 teaspoon black pepper. Mix gently until well combined.
Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty about 0.5 inch thick.
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.
During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of Swiss cheese on each patty and cover the skillet to melt the cheese.
While the patties are cooking, slice the red onion thinly and prepare the lettuce leaves as the bun replacement.
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.
Place another lettuce leaf on top to encase the patty, forming a 'wrap'. Repeat with the remaining patties.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low-carb mushroom Swiss hamburger!
