Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef (80% lean)
• 4 slices sharp cheddar cheese
• 1 medium red onion
• 1 cup button mushrooms
• 1 garlic clove
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 hamburger buns
• 1 cup arugula or spinach leaves
• 1 large tomato
• 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

Directions

Step 1

Thinly slice the red onion and mushrooms. Mince the garlic clove. Dice the fresh parsley.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil and butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onion, mushrooms, and garlic. Sauté for 7–10 minutes until softened and slightly caramelized. Set aside.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Gently mix until just combined. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into burger patties about 1 inch thick.

Step 4

Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the burger patties for 4–5 minutes on one side, then flip. Add a slice of sharp cheddar cheese to each patty and cook for an additional 4–5 minutes, or until the burgers reach your desired level of doneness.

Step 5

Slice the tomato into thin rounds. Toast the hamburger buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster.

Step 6

Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise and 1/2 teaspoon of Dijon mustard on the bottom half of each bun. Top with a handful of arugula or spinach leaves, a slice of tomato, and the sautéed onion and mushroom mixture.

Step 7

Place the cooked burger patties with melted cheddar on top of the vegetables and cover with the top half of the bun.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy your Farmer in the Dell Burgers!
