Ingredients

  • 4 Burger Patties
  • 4 Hamburger Buns
  • Package of Pre-Cooked Bacon
  • 8 oz Fresh Mushrooms
  • 1 yellow onion sliced
  • 4 slices of Swiss cheese
  • 4 slices of cheddar cheese
  • Lettuce
  • Tomato sliced
  • BBQ Sauce
  • Mayo

Instructions

  • [mv_schema_meta name="Cook the Hamburger"] Place skillet on medium high heat. Season both sides of the burger with any burger seasoning. Cook for about 5 minutes, flip, and cook an additional 5 minutes or until desired doneness. Cooking time might be less for fresh hamburger as opposed to frozen.
  • [mv_schema_meta name="Caramelize Mushrooms & Onions"] Remove burgers from skillet and add mushrooms and onions. Cook until they are squishy and buttery looking. Add butter if you think you must.
  • [mv_schema_meta name="Cook the Bacon"] If using pre-cooked bacon slices, place on a microwave safe plate (paper plate) and microwave 10 to 20 seconds.
  • [mv_schema_meta name="Stack the Burgers"] Stack in some semblance of an order the bottom half of a bun, the burger, a slice of Swiss, a slice of Cheddar, bacon, the mushroom onions, lettuce, tomato, and use mayo and BBQ like its ketchup and mustard, and then top with the top bun.
  • [mv_schema_meta name="Optional Extra-ness"] If you want to be extra, you can prep the buns by buttering them and baking them before stacking the burgers. I'd bake them 3 to 5 minutes in an oven at 400°, or a toaster oven on toast.
