These are spectacular tasting burgers. The combination of the mushrooms in the wine sauce and the smoked gouda make these a burger worth making.
Ingredients:
1 lb. ground sirloin or beef
1/2 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
garlic powder and freshly ground pepper
1 Tbsp. butter
1 shallot, sliced
1 clove garlic, minced
6 oz. cremini mushrooms, sliced
3/4 cup marsala
1/2 cup beef broth
4 slices smoked gouda or sharp cheddar cheese (I used the gouda)
French baguette or crusty rolls, for serving (I just used regular wheat hamburger buns because that's what I had on hand).
Lightly mix together the ground sirloin and Worcestershire. Form the mixture into four patties. Season on both sides with garlic powder and fresh pepper.
Heat grill to medium heat (can also fry in a pan if you don't want to grill them). Cook the burgers until they are just undercooked to your liking (so if you like your burgers medium, cook until medium rare). Remove from the grill and set aside.
In a large skillet, add the butter, the shallot, garlic, and mushrooms. Saute until tender and the mushrooms have lost all their juices. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the marsala. Scrape up any browned bits from the pan and reduce the liquid by half. Add the broth and reduce again by half. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Add the burgers into the pan and continue cooking another minute or so. Top with the cheese and melt (cover with a lid if you have one to make this easier). Serve the burgers on the baguette/rolls and top with the mushroom mixture.

Finally made these last night and they were great! I didn't have any shallots and I totally forgot the salt and pepper but they still turned out delicious! I grilled them on my George Foreman. Next time, (and trust me there WILL be a next time) I plan to try swiss cheese! Thanks for a fab recipe!
What sides do you suggest with these? We love Chicken Marsala and thought we would try these out this week?
I always do a nice green salad with burgers, and I like to do fresh fruit like strawberries. I typically always serve a green vegetable as well, so I would do some grilled green beans with them. If you are a burgers and fries kind of person, I have a great recipe for oven fries. Hope that helps give you some ideas.
