Ingredients
  

Burger stack
  • 1 lb ground beef 80/20, kept cold
  • 4 thin slices Swiss cheese about ¾ oz each
  • 4 sesame buns split
Skillet
  • 8 oz cremini mushrooms trimmed, sliced ¼ inch thick
  • 1 tbsp neutral oil such as canola
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1/2 tsp fine salt divided
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
Dijon mayo
  • 3 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 2 tsp Dijon mustard

Method
 

  1. Stir the mayonnaise and Dijon together. Divide the cold beef into four 4-ounce patties, about 4 inches wide and ½ inch thick. Refrigerate while you cook the mushrooms.
  2. Heat the oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Spread out the mushrooms. Leave for 2 minutes, then stir occasionally for another 6–8 minutes, until the liquid evaporates and the edges brown. Lower the heat, add the butter and a pinch of the salt, toss, and transfer to a bowl.
  3. Over medium heat, toast the buns cut-side down in the same skillet for 30–60 seconds per batch. Set them cut-side up on a plate and wipe any dark crumbs from the skillet.
  4. Return the skillet to medium-high heat. Season both sides of two patties with half the remaining salt and pepper. Sear without pressing for about 3 minutes. Flip, cook 2 minutes, then add one cheese slice per patty. Cover briefly and continue cooking until each center reaches 160°F, checking with a thermometer inserted from the side. Move to a clean plate. Repeat with the other two patties and remaining seasoning and cheese.
  5. Spread Dijon mayo on each bottom bun. Add a cheeseburger and a quarter of the mushrooms. Finish with the top buns and serve hot.

Notes

Lift the mushrooms with a slotted spoon if juices collect in the bowl. Serve the first pair of burgers while the second pair cooks, or loosely tent the cooked patties on a warm plate until assembly.
