Mushroom Swiss Sliders

Mushroom Swiss Sliders

Not going to lie, this recipe was inspired by all of the Whataburger billboard ads all around Austin. They had me drooling, I’ve always added mushrooms to my burger. Instead of stopping and getting one I decided to make them at home! They were a huge hit. Sliders are the perfect size for small kids. These are simple enough for week nights and served outside on the patio (with some crunchy raw veg on the side) made it feel like a Saturday for sure.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pkg Mini Hawaiian Buns
  • 1 lb Ground Bison (can use ground protein of your choice)
  • 1 pkg Crimini Mushrooms 1/2 pkg sliced 1/2 package minced
  • 5 slices Swiss Cheese quartered
  • 3 tbsp Butter
  • 1 tbsp Steak Seasoning
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Ground Mustard
  • 2 tsp Salt/Pepper
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce

Toppings and Sides of your Choice

  • Mayo, Mustard, Ketchup
  • Chopped Veggies, carrot and cucumbers

Instructions
 

  • Take bison meat out of the refrigerator and let sit for at least 20 minutes. Turn on your grill. If using a grill pan, turn the burner on low and let it get hot. 
  • In your saute pan, add 1.5 tbsp butter along with the minced mushrooms, saute for 4-5 minutes until tender, season with salt and pepper. Set aside to cool. Repeat this step with the sliced mushrooms. Set aside. In a large bowl add the bison, steak seasoning, garlic powder, ground mustard, 1 tbsp of Worcestershire and a few dashes of salt and pepper. Using a spoon, mix until all ingredients are blended. Add the cooled minced mushrooms to the bison mixture and gently mix. (Try not to over mix) . 
  • Using your hands, start to make your sliders. I like to use a large tablespoon to measure each burger. This will make approximately 8 sliders. Cook the sliders 3-4 minutes each side or done to your liking. Top each burger with a slice of Swiss cheese and continue to cook until cheese has melted. Serve the burgers on a Hawaiian bun with sauteed sliced mushrooms and desired toppings.
