How do you make Juicy Mushroom Swiss Burgers?

The most important tip for making juicy burgers is to use ground beef with a higher fat content. Smoked burgers should be made with 80% lean ground beef or 73% lean ground beef. If you use leaner ground beef, the burgers will dry out during the smoking time.

Two pounds of ground beef will make about 4 good-size hamburgers. The burgers will be smoked for an hour on low heat before increasing the heat to medium heat and searing them. The mushrooms will be prepared and placed on the grill in a cast iron skillet when the heat is increased.

Once the savory mushrooms and hamburgers are nearly cooked, Swiss cheese can be added to melt onto the burger, and the hamburger buns can be placed on the grill to toast them.

Tips for Making the Best Mushroom Swiss Burgers on the Pellet Grill:

• Use 80/20 ground beef – This is a must for the juicest burgers!
• Toast the buns – For extra flavor and to make the buns sturdy, toast them just before serving.
• Let the burgers rest – Let the burgers rest for 2-3 minutes before serving to lock in the juice and flavor.
• Extra cheese – Add in some extra slices of Swiss cheese for a cheesy burger.

What pellets work best for smoking burgers?

Hickory, mesquite, or a blend are the best choices for adding rich flavor without overpowering the smoked burgers.

Variations of Smoked Mushroom Swiss Burgers:

• Extra Smoky – Add a tablespoon of Worcestershire Sauce to the ground meat when preparing the patties to enhance the smoky flavor.
• Add Bacon – Top the burgers with slices of bacon for a bacon mushroom swiss burger.
• Make it Spicy – Add chili pepper flakes or cayenne pepper to the ground beef when preparing the patties.
• Add Additional Toppings – Serve with your favorite toppings or as is; use tomatoes, sliced onions, bbq sauce, mayo, or other toppings.

How do you store leftovers?

Smoked Burgers are best served fresh; when reheated, they will be dry or hard. It’s best to make exactly what you need when serving smoked burgers instead of holding onto leftovers.

These burgers are perfect to serve with Smoked Beans.
