Ingredients

• 1 1/2 lb ground beef
• 1 cup Port wine
• 8 slices Swiss cheese
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 cups mushrooms, sliced
• 2 large onions, thinly sliced
• 4 whole brioche buns

Instructions

1. In a saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until caramelized, about 20 minutes.
2. While the onions caramelize, form the ground beef into 4 equally sized patties. Season each patty with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
3. Grill or pan-fry the patties over medium-high heat until they reach the desired doneness, about 4 minutes per side for medium.
4. In another pan, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté until browned and tender, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
5. Using the same pan used for the mushrooms, pour in the Port wine to deglaze the pan. Simmer over medium heat until the wine is reduced by half and slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Set the reduction aside.
6. Assemble the burgers by placing a cooked patty on the bottom half of each brioche bun. Top with 2 slices of Swiss cheese, a generous portion of sautéed mushrooms, and caramelized onions. Drizzle the Port wine reduction over the assembled ingredients, then cover with the top half of the bun.
