I made this last night. Its def not the same as Hardees, but it turned out great non the less. I was scared, because the mushroom sauce by itself didn’t taste that great. But decided to go through with it anyway. Combined it all on the burger and it tasted excellent. Like I said, not the same as Hardees, but good non the less. I might take the advice of one of the previous posters and try the Heinz gravy instead of the Golden Mushroom Soup.

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.

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!

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”.

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.

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!!

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?
