Step 1: Start by browning the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat. Add in the finely chopped onion, salt, sage, and oregano, stirring well to combine all the flavors together. Let it cook for about 5 minutes, or until the beef is no longer pink and the onions are translucent.
Step 2: Once the beef is cooked through, drain any excess fat from the skillet to keep your burgers from being too greasy.
Step 3: Pour in the tomato sauce, adding in the sliced mushrooms and grated parmesan cheese for an extra kick of flavor. Stir everything together until well combined.
Step 4: Allow the mixture to simmer for about 10 minutes, giving the flavors time to meld together and create a delicious sauce for your burgers.
Step 5: While the sauce is simmering, prepare your hamburger buns by slicing them in half and arranging them on a baking sheet or oven-safe dish.
Step 6: Once the sauce is ready, scoop a generous amount onto each halved hamburger bun, spreading it evenly to cover the surface.
Step 7: Sprinkle a handful of shredded mozzarella cheese over the top of each burger, ensuring that each one gets a gooey, cheesy topping.
Step 8: Place the assembled burgers under the broiler in your oven, allowing the cheese to melt and bubble until it turns a golden brown color, typically about 5 minutes.
Step 9: Once the cheese is melted and bubbly, remove the burgers from the oven and serve them hot, with your favorite sides or toppings.
