Red Robin Inspired Mushroom Swiss Burger Recipe

It is really quite easy to make using simple ingredients.

• Flavorful Mushroom and Swiss Combination:

  
  

  • The combination of sautéed mushrooms and melted Swiss cheese creates a rich and savory flavor profile. The earthiness of the mushrooms pairs well with the mild, nutty taste of Swiss cheese, resulting in a satisfying and well-balanced taste.

  
  

• Juicy Beef Patty:

  
  

  • The burger patty itself is typically made from high-quality beef, seasoned with salt, pepper, and possibly Red Robin Seasoning. This adds juiciness and enhances the overall flavor of the burger.

  
  

• Textural Contrast:

  
  

  • The sautéed mushrooms and onions provide a tender and slightly caramelized texture, which contrasts nicely with the juicy beef patty. The melty Swiss cheese adds a creamy element, while the fresh lettuce and tomato provide a crisp and refreshing crunch.

  
  

• Customizable Toppings:

  
  

  • The Red Robin-inspired Mushroom Swiss Burger can be customized to suit individual preferences. You can add your favorite toppings such as pickles, bacon, avocado, or additional sauces to enhance the flavor and personalize the burger to your liking.

  
  

• Nostalgic Appeal:

  
  

  • For those who have enjoyed a Mushroom Swiss Burger at Red Robin, the homemade version may evoke feelings of nostalgia and fond memories associated with the taste and experience of dining at the restaurant.

  
  

Of course, taste preferences can vary from person to person, but these are some of the reasons why the Red Robin-inspired Mushroom Swiss Burger is often considered to be so good.

• Mushrooms - the best mushroom for my Red Robin Inspired Mushroom Swiss Burger Recipe is the white button mushroom but baby portobello mushrooms would be good too.
• Ground Beef - I used regular ground beef (80/20) hamburger patties. Use a turkey patty if you must, but season it a bit heavier and cook a bit longer to ensure it is thoroughly cooked.
• Swiss Cheese - or your choice of cheese. I think Swiss is best, but use cheddar cheese, American cheese, or your favorite sliced cheese.
• Seasoning - Use a good burger seasoning. I like the McCormick brand, but we have used and really liked Williams Sonoma Burger Bomb Seasoning.
• Parmesan Cheese - no need to go fancy on this. Save the good stuff for my Creamy Parmesan Rice. A nice finely grated Parmesan from a tub works great here! I used the store brand.
• Butter - substitute olive oil if you like.
• Garlic - fresh is best, but in a pinch, use granulated garlic.
• Brioche Buns - I am obsessed with Brioche, but you can use a sesame seed bun, potato bun, or whatever you like best.

Swiss mushroom burgers are burger perfection as-is, or can get your burger freak on by adding some of these Red Robin signature items:

• Bleu cheese crumbles.
• Crispy onion straws.
• Fried jalapeño coins.
• BBQ sauce or Red Robin's famous whiskey river sauce.

Place butter and chopped garlic in a non-stick pan with heat on low-medium.

Melt the butter and cook the garlic until it becomes fragrant. Do not burn garlic!

Continue cooking until the mushrooms release their liquid and it evaporates.

Cook for another minute stirring constantly. Remove pan from heat.

Grill the burger patties to desired internal temperature.

Add two slices of Swiss cheese to each patty. Remove patties cheese melts.

This Red Robin Inspired Mushroom Swiss Burger Recipe is best served alongside a big pile of hot, crispy, French fries. I like to add a dill pickle spear on the side, just to add a bit of acidity.

You can use plain mayonnaise on the burger or a garlic aioli as I did. Garlic aioli is just a bit of grated garlic in mayonnaise with a bit of sour cream.
