Be hungry when you make this: it's a big, wholesome burger. Garlic and swiss cheese, with the Dijon mustard, are probably more important than the mushrooms to the identity of this recipe. I used iceberg lettuce because that's what was on hand; the romaine would have been nice. Made for Top Favorites of 2009.

My husband really liked this burger. I doubled the recipe and we cooked them on the grill verses the broiler. Made for a nice dinner. Made and reviewed from Auzie Swap #32.

Yummy burger :) I made as directed except left out the scallion. The flavors went together nicely. Broiling in the oven was such a quick and simple way to cook them -- I'd never broiled burgers before! Thanks for posting! Made fo Zaar Stars Tag.
