Delicious melted swiss cheese, and garlicky butter mushrooms, over a juicy homemade hamburger patty!
My two oldest kids (6 and 3 years) actually helped me with this recipe. They enjoy cooking in the kitchen with me, as much as possible. They cut up the mushrooms, for the hamburger, and the watermelon (that we had on the side). They did an awesome job. Sometimes it is really hard to have the kids in the kitchen, but they really love it, and if I can get them to learn early to be in the kitchen I think that is a valuable time for us to spend together and valuable lessons for them to have for life. I didn’t really challenge myself in the kitchen growing up, therefore I didn’t learn to cook until I got married. I want my babies to eat well in college and to know they have some choices! 😜 And eventually maybe even make meals before they leave the house. I would be all about that!
The whole family scarfed these down. They were perfect! We love mushrooms, and this was a good one. Mushrooms are so good for you, too, so that is a plus! Also, these are definitely MAN PLEASING burgers, if that is what you are looking for. The bacon, cheese, and A.1. sauce makes them great. I hope you love them as we did!
