Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Protein:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/2 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese (2 oz)
Vegetables and Aromatics:
- 8 oz mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 1 cup white onion, coarsely chopped (from 1 small onion)
Sauces, Seasonings, and Other Ingredients:
- 1 cup chicken broth (from 32-ounce carton)
- 2 tablespoons steak sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon Montreal steak seasoning
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 8 regular-size burger buns, toasted if desired
Instructions
- Prepare a flavorful broth by whisking together chicken broth, steak sauce, and Dijon mustard in a medium bowl, then set aside for later use.
- Heat a 12-inch skillet over medium-high temperature and cook ground beef for 7-8 minutes, breaking it into crumbles until thoroughly browned. Drain excess fat and reserve the beef.
- In the same skillet, melt butter with remaining drippings and sauté mushrooms, onions, and steak seasoning for 7-8 minutes until vegetables become translucent and mushrooms develop a rich golden color.
- Dust the cooked vegetables with flour, stirring continuously for 1-2 minutes until the flour turns golden brown and emits a nutty aroma.
- Reintroduce the cooked beef to the skillet and pour in the prepared broth mixture. Reduce heat and simmer for 3-4 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and coat the meat evenly.
- Toast burger buns until crisp and golden, then layer the bottom bun with the savory beef mixture, sprinkle with shredded Cheddar cheese, and crown with the top bun.
Notes
- Customize Meat Selection swap ground beef with ground turkey or plant-based alternatives for lighter protein options.
- Control Texture adjust simmer time to achieve desired thickness, shorter for saucier consistency and longer for thicker mixture.
- Cheese Variations experiment with different cheese types like smoked Gouda or blue cheese for unique flavor profiles.
- Make-Ahead Friendly prepare beef mixture in advance and reheat gently before serving to enhance flavor development.
