Red Robin Inspired Mushroom Swiss Burger Recipe

Who doesn't love Red Robin? It is a family-friendly, casual restaurant with delicious gourmet burgers, famous bottomless steak fries, and soft-serve ice cream milkshakes! Our favorite of the Red Robin gourmet burgers is the Garlic Parmesan Sautéed Mushroom Swiss Burger, also known as the ’Shroom Burger. We don't get out as much as we used to, so I try to recreate some of our favorite restaurant menu items at home. My Red Robin Inspired Mushroom Swiss Burger Recipe is one of our favorites. If you have burger dreams too, this amazing burger is for you!

Why You'll Love Red Robin-Inspired Mushroom Swiss Burgers

• It is really quite easy to make using simple ingredients.
• You can cook the garlic mushrooms ahead of time, and re-heat them when the burgers come off the grill. Keep them covered in a small bowl and you'll have juicy mushrooms for your burgers. One caveat, hide them because they mysteriously disappear, one at a time.

Ingredients

• 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 make sure it is cooked thoroughly.
• 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 Bun - I am obsessed with Brioche, but you can use a sesame seed bun, potato bun, or whatever you like best.

Perfect Pairings

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 like I did. Garlic aioli is just a bit of grated garlic in mayonnaise with a bit of sour cream.

• Add the mushrooms to the hot pan with the oil and garlic.

• Remove from heat and add the Parmesan cheese. Stir and return to heat for a minute.
