Mushroom Burger Recipe
Burger fans, this could be a dream come true. I came across this recipe on the internet awhile back, tried it once and have been making it ever since. It’s a copy-cat recipe of Hardee’s Mushroom and Swiss Burger, and if you’ve ever tried it at Hardee’s this is about as close as you can get to the real thing. A juicy, seasoned beef patty topped with delicious Swiss cheese and a scrumptious mushroom sauce. Oh man, what more could you want? You can either cook these bad boys on your stove top or throw them on the grill. Normally I despise the average copy-cat recipe, because from past experiences most of them taste nothing like the ones at the actual restaurant, but this in my opinion some what lives up to the name. If your curious, try it and you decide.
Ingredients:
1 can
4 slices Swiss cheese
½ teaspoon Accent seasoning
½ teaspoon Lawry’s Seasoned Salt
¼ teaspoon ground pepper
Cooking Instructions:
Step 1: Combine Golden Mushroom soup, mushrooms, and Worcestershire sauce in a pan. Put on the stove and let simmer.
Step 2: Combine Accent seasoning, seasoned salt, and pepper in a shaker.
Step 3: Season your patties with the seasoning mixture and pan fry or grill until done.
Step 4: Place patty on a bun, top with Swiss cheese and the mushroom sauce.

Great job Bob, These burgers are GREAT!
thanks, I love them as well!
Have always loved this Hardee burger! Hardee’s is no longer in our area so I’m thrilled to find the recipe. We’re having it for supper tonight.
thanks!
Hey do you add the juice in the mushrooms or strain them?
dave – strain the juice from the mushrooms. You can also use fresh mushrooms but cook them first. I hope you enjoy the burger.
thanks bobby
Bobby do you use the soup as it is in the can or do you add water to the soup, I would guess its right out of the can is that correct? Thanks Bobby I can not wait to try them. I will re-post after we make them.
Dan – as it is in the can, do not add water. I hope you enjoy the recipe.
You have no idea what you have done for me. When I saw ‘Hardee’s’ in the 1st paragraph, I had to do a doubletake! I’ve been looking for something even similar for ever.
Thank you.
Hi Bobby~ I’ve made these burgers over and over! Wonderful recipe, thanks for sharing.
Thanks, I was looking for it today. I was trying to use ketchup & mayonnaise for the sauce, man was I off, by a long shot,
Bobby, I made these tonight. I just used some eggs and onion for mixture in the patties. I only used Lawry’s seasoning in the mix, Accent is just pure MSG, so I did not even buy it. I put the patties in the oven after frying them, set the oven to broil and let the cheese melt for about 2-3mins. Tasted fantastic
.
Kent – I’m glad you enjoyed the recipe. These bugers are some of my favorite. I also leave out the accent alot.
What is “accent” seasoning? Should I be able to find it at any or most grocery stores? I’ve never heard of it and consider myself an amateur chef as I LOVE to cook and have come up with my own recipies for some awesome meals that have been lauded by my friends and family as some of the best cooking they have ever had the opportunity to eat! Thanks for any feedback everyone!!!
Dan – Accent is much like salt, it is pretty much msg. You can just leave it out if you cant find it.
I have tried to make my own version of this and failed.
I think I have found the recipe for my favourite burger ever.
I do have a question, if you’d be so kind as to Email me a resonse: It never seemed to me that Hardee’s used actuall Swiss cheese.
Swiss cheese is one of my least favourite cheeses, and to me, their swiss always seemed more like munster, or something else.
Would you please comment on my observation, whether or not you agree?
We really enjoyed these burgers!! I haven’t had a Hardee’s mushroom swiss burger in a long time but I do remember the taste and these come very close. YUM! I also recognize the plate it’s on, I grew up using those plates. My Mom still has them because they never break!!
HERETICPRIME- Sorry but I have not had this burger at hardees.
Bobby,
Thanks for your honesty.
I tried the recipe and I had a few comments.
1) This recipe is about 70% of what the Hardee’s Mushroom burger of old should taste like. I do not use the soup mix that you and everyone else on the internet seems to use. I seem to get a closer taste with “Hienz Homestyle Gravy: Rich Mushroom”
2) The sauce upon putting the mushrooms in is actually BETTER the next day than the day it is cooked. Like a good pasta, it seems to gain something from a refrigeration and reheating.
3) I do not doubt Worcestershire sauce is an ingredient to add to the sauce, however, the main thing missing is a simple ingredient: salt. Rather than adding it to the main container of sauce, itself, I suggest sprinkling on the sauce once it is on the burger to taste.
4) Dutch Farms Swiss is a close if not perfect match to the Swiss cheese used on the Hardee’s mushroom and Swiss. It is not an over-powering Siss. Only one piece of cheese is necessary.
Well, that is my two cents worth.
I find that when you use the Heinz Homestyle Gravy: Rich Mushroom and add salt to taste on the burger with strained canned mushrooms, you get a sandwich that is anywhere from 85-93% of what that classic burger was.
It’s really sad what happened to that burger, because Hardee’s really screwed it up by taking it away, and then the Angus version doesn’t even compare.
Sadly enough, the closest thing I find to actually getting that burger is to wait for Checkers/Rally’s mushroom and Swiss and to add the canned mushrooms. It is about 95% or better to the Hardee’s mushroom and Swiss.
THANK YOU!! I made these last night, and they are pretty much the same as the Hardee’s burgers I remember as a kid! Also, just gotta say I love the plates- My fiance and I have my mom’s hand-me-down set until we register for our “own”.
Glad I found this recipe! Love M&S burgers, but never tried to make them at home. I did slight modifications to Bobby’s recipe – I grilled the burgers, fresh made patties with minced garlic, salt and pepper mixed into the patties. I used the only can of mushroom soup I had, and added a splash of balsamic vinegar as well, and a LOT of fresh sliced baby portabella shrooms, just threw em in to cook with the soup. Oh BABY that stuff was good!! Thanks for getting me started home growing M&S burgers!
This sounds close to the sauce that Hardees uses according to all who tried it, but do you think they would actually use concentrated soup? The cost for Hardees to produce their sauce this way would cost them a fortune. The pics tell the story, it doesn’t look close. Its a good idea to try but this isn’t it. Sad thing is this is the only recipe that people can come up with everywhere I looked online. I have come up with a better / healthier recipe that looks and tastes closer to the original. I am not posting it either. Get in your kitchens and experiment yourself.
