-
Shape and Grill the Burgers:
- Divide the meat mixture into two equal portions and shape into burger patties.
- Grill the patties to your desired level of doneness, usually about 4-5 minutes per side for a medium-cooked burger.
-
Sautee Onions and Mushrooms:
- In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the sliced onions and mushrooms until they are soft and lightly caramelized, approximately 5-7 minutes.
-
Prepare the Brown Gravy:
- While the burgers are grilling and the veggies are sautéing, prepare the brown gravy mix according to the instructions on the packet. Set aside.
-
Assemble the Louisiana Swamp Burgers:
- Place each grilled burger on a hamburger bun.
- Top the burgers with the sautéed onions and mushrooms mixture.
- Generously sprinkle cheddar cheese and Monterey Jack cheese over the onions and mushrooms.
- Pour on the desired amount of prepared brown gravy, allowing it to melt the cheeses into a gooey, delicious topping.
-
Add Your Favorite Toppings:
- If desired, add lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, or any other favorite burger toppings.
-
Serve and Enjoy:
- Close the burger with the top bun, and serve these Louisiana Swamp Burgers hot and fresh!
