Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • ½ onion, sliced
  • 4 fresh mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 pound ground beef (for the patties)
  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup dry bread crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
  • 2 tablespoons steak sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons dried minced onion
  • Salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 4 slices pepperjack cheese
  • 1/2 pound of additional ground beef (optional, to add on top of the burger or mix into patties for extra flavor)
  • ¼ cup guacamole, or to taste

Preparation Steps:

  1. Cook the Onions and Mushrooms: Follow the same initial steps for sautéing the onions, mushrooms, and caramelizing them with brown sugar.
  2. Make the Beef Patties: Mix the ground beef with egg, bread crumbs, horseradish, steak sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, dried minced onion, salt, and black pepper. Form into patties and grill or pan-fry to your desired doneness.
  3. Optional Extra Beef Layer: If you want extra beef in your burger, you can cook an additional ½ pound of ground beef and crumble it on top of the burger before adding cheese and finishing the grilling process.
  4. Assemble the Burger: Top the cooked beef patty with the caramelized mushrooms, onions, pepperjack cheese, and a dollop of guacamole for a savory and creamy finish.

With the beef substitution, your burger will still maintain that hearty, savory flavor, and the addition of extra beef on top will keep it juicy and satisfying. This alternative keeps the same savory, meaty essence while swapping bacon for a more substantial beef option.
