Lunch: Cheeses Is Born Burger

Recipe by Courtesy of The Bob's Burgers Burger Book: Real Recipes for Joke Burgers Swiss and Jarlsberg make this cheeseburger extra melty.

Ingredients

3 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
butter or olive oil
1 (10-ounce) package white button mushrooms, sliced
2 Roma tomatoes, seeded and diced
1 c. brown gravy (canned, homemade, or from a mix)
1/4 c. brown mustard
1 lb. ground beef
4 slices baby Swiss cheese
4 slices Jarlsberg cheese
4 Hamburger buns
Boston or green leaf lettuce

Instructions

Sauté the garlic in a little butter or oil over medium-high heat just until fragrant. Fragrance is like obscenity: You'll know it when you smell it. Turn the heat down to medium and add the mushrooms and a bit more butter or oil. Cook these slowly to soften them up and draw out their liquid.
Once your mushrooms are starting to brown, raise the heat to high till the liquid evaporates. Throw in your diced tomatoes and sauté briefly. Set aside.
Heat your gravy—scratch, a can, or a mix—you'll want it hot.
Gently mix the mustard into the beef. Form 4 hamburger patties and season both sides with salt and pepper. Cook the burgers.
Put a bit of your mushroom-garlic-tomato mixture on top and then add one slice each of the Swiss and the Jarlsberg.
Build Your Burger: Bottom bun, lettuce, cheesy-mushroomy burger, more mushrooms, gravy, top bun. Reserve any leftover gravy for dipping fries.
