A mix of dried and fresh mushrooms are combined with lean ground beef to create a burger that you won’t soon forget. The mushrooms not only add their earthy, umami-rich flavor, but they help keep the burger patties juicy as they cook. Shape the beef and mushroom mixture into patties with an even thickness so that they will all be ready at the same time. You can make these burgers in advance. Store the patties, tightly covered or in an airtight container, in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours—the mushroom flavor will become even more intense with the extra time.

Instructions

Place the dried mushrooms and sliced mushrooms in a food processor fitted with the chopping blade or a blender; pulse until finely ground. Transfer to a medium bowl and combine with the beef, parsley, tarragon, salt, onion powder, and pepper. Shape into 4 burgers.
