# Ingredient List:
→ Mushroom Swiss Burgers
01 - 1 pound ground beef (80/20 blend recommended)
02 - 1 teaspoon salt
03 - ½ teaspoon black pepper
04 - 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
05 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
06 - 8 ounces cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
07 - 1 small onion, thinly sliced
08 - 4 slices Swiss cheese
09 - 4 burger buns
10 - 2 tablespoons mayonnaise (optional)
11 - 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard (optional)
12 - 1 cup baby arugula or lettuce leaves
→ Waffle Fries
13 - 1½ pounds frozen waffle fries
14 - 1 tablespoon olive oil (if baking)
15 - Salt, to taste
# Steps:
01 - Heat the oven to 425°F.
02 - Arrange frozen waffle fries in a single layer on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and bake for 22 to 28 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden and crisp. Season with salt.
03 - Combine ground beef, salt, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce in a bowl. Mix gently and shape into 4 patties slightly larger than the buns.
04 - Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté onions and mushrooms for 7 to 8 minutes until softened and golden. Remove from heat.
05 - Over medium-high heat, cook patties in the skillet or on a grill for 3 to 4 minutes per side to medium doneness.
06 - Place sautéed mushrooms and onions atop each patty, then cover with a slice of Swiss cheese. Cover and let cheese melt for 1 to 2 minutes.
07 - Toast buns if desired. Spread mayonnaise and/or Dijon mustard on the bottom halves. Add arugula or lettuce leaves, then the patties. Top with remaining buns.
08 - Serve the burgers hot alongside the golden waffle fries.
