Ingredients

Mushrooms

1 lb (454 g) white button mushrooms, cut into thick slices
3 tablespoons (45 ml) butter
1/2 cup (125 ml) shallots, thinly sliced
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 sprig fresh thyme
1/2 cup (125 ml) beef or chicken broth
2 tablespoons (30 ml) Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons (30 ml) sherry vinegar
Salt and pepper

Cheese Sauce

3 cups (750 ml) grated yellow sharp cheddar cheese (approximately 280 g / 10 oz)
1 tablespoon (15 ml) cornstarch
1 can 370 ml evaporated milk

Hamburgers

1 1/2 lb (675 g) lean ground beef
4 kaiser rolls or hamburger buns
Arugula

Preparation

Mushrooms

In a large skillet, brown the mushrooms in the butter. Add the shallots and sauté until golden brown. Season with salt and pepper. Add the garlic and thyme and cook for 1 minute. Deglaze with the broth, sauce, and vinegar. Bring to a boil and reduce until almost dry, about 2 minutes. Remove the thyme and adjust the seasoning. Keep warm.

Cheese Sauce

In a saucepan, off the heat, toss the cheese with the cornstarch. Add the milk and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring with a whisk until the cheese has melted, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat. Cover and set aside.

Hamburgers

Preheat the grill, setting the burners on high. Oil the grate.
With your hands or a hamburger press, form eight large and thin patties with about 75 ml (1/3 cup) of meat each.
Grill the patties for 2 to 3 minutes per side or until cooked through. Season with salt and pepper.
Toast the buns. Generously spread the warm cheese sauce on the bottom buns. Add the patties. Top with mushrooms. Cover with a second patty and mushrooms. Top with cheese sauce, to taste, and arugula. Cover to close the burgers.
