Casanova Burger

I decided to try and make all of the burgers that you can find at the Cheese & Burger Society. I'm doubtful I'll be able to get all of the ingredients for all of the great burgers they have, but I'm going to try.

My first burger was the Casanova. According to the web site:

The Casanova will have your taste buds at “Hello.” Fully stuffed with more flavor than it knows what to do with, this robust cheeseburger can satisfy the hungriest of bellies and the most discerning of palates. If you’re craving a little burger and cheese romance, it’s time you spent some quality time with The Casanova.

We certainly enjoyed this burger!

Ingredients:

• 1/2-1 pound fresh ground beef (recommend 75/25 or 80/20)
• 4 slices aged Swiss cheese
• 4 slices thin-sliced ham (can use sandwich meat)
• 4 large button mushrooms, sliced
  
• 1 T butter
• 1 T Dijon mustard
• 1 T mayonnaise
• 2 Hamburger buns

1. Heat a small skillet over medium heat and melt the better. Add mushrooms and sautee until slightly tender. Remove from heat.

2. Preheat grill to medium high.

3. Form beef into two patties and grill to desired doneness. Melt one slice of cheese on top of burger. Toast buns, melting another slice of Swiss on each of the bun bottoms. Place ham on grill, turning once, until just slightly charred and warmed.

4. To make burgers, divide mayonnaise between bun bottoms and spread. Also divide the mustard between the bun tops and spread evenly. Top bottom bun with the ham, burger, mushrooms, and top bun. Enjoy!
