Double Stack Mushroom And Chicken Cheeseburgers Recipes

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and shallot and cook, stirring frequently, until softened, about 1 minute. Add the mushrooms and wine or stock and simmer until the pan is completely dry, about 7 minutes. Continue cooking until the mushrooms are lightly browned, about 1 minute. Set aside to cool.
• Combine the cooled mushroom mixture, ground chicken, breadcrumbs, eggs, basil, salt and some pepper in a large bowl. Blend well and then form into 4 patties. Cook the patties in a saute pan over medium to medium-high heat with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, 4 to 5 minutes per side. (Or cook on the grill, or roast in a 425 degree F oven, until cooked through, about 12 minutes.)
• Cut the tomato into 4 thick slices and place on a baking sheet. Top each tomato slice with 1 tablespoon of the grated Parmesan. Split the 4 rolls, spread with softened butter and arrange cut-side up on the baking sheet with the tomatoes. Broil until the buns are toasted and the cheese is slightly melted, keeping a careful watch to prevent burning.
• Spread one side of the toasted buns with Dijon mustard before assembling the burgers and topping with lettuce.

Steps:

• Combine 1/2 cup water, the vinegar, sugar and 3/4 teaspoon salt in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until the sugar dissolves, about 2 minutes. Combine the cucumbers and carrots in a bowl; pour in the hot liquid and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Combine the ground beef and 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce in a large bowl. Mix with your hands until just combined. Form into four 1-inch-thick patties; season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms, season with salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned around the edges, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.
• Wipe out the skillet and melt the remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Add the burgers and cook until browned, about 4 minutes per side; top with the cheese and cover during the last 1 minute.
• Meanwhile, mix the ketchup with the remaining 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce; spread on the bottom buns. Serve the burgers on the buns; top with the mushrooms. Drain the pickles and serve on the side.
