Ingredients

Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Beef Patties
In a bowl, mix ground beef with garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties. Set aside.
Step 2: Cook the Mushrooms
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes until soft and browned. Stir in soy sauce and cook for another 2 minutes. Set the mushrooms aside.
Step 3: Grill the Beef Patties
Heat the remaining olive oil in a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Grill the beef patties for 4-5 minutes per side or until desired doneness. If using cheese, add a slice on top of each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.
Step 4: Assemble the Burger
Toast the burger buns lightly on the grill. Place each beef patty on the bottom half of the bun. Top with sautéed mushrooms, fresh lettuce, and tomato slices. Cover with the top half of the bun.
Step 5: Serve
Serve the Beef & Mushroom Burger hot with your favorite side, such as fries or a salad.
