This lion’s mane mushroom burger recipe is simple, hearty, and full of flavor. The mushrooms add this meaty, almost crab-like texture that blends right into the beef, so even the skeptics in our house were won over. Whether you grew your own or grabbed some at the farmer’s market, this is an easy, delicious way to try cooking with lion’s mane for the first time.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 lbs ground beef

  • 2 cups lion’s mane mushrooms, diced

  • 2 tablespoons butter (for sautéing mushrooms)

  • ½ onion, diced

  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed

  • 1 ½ teaspoons salt

  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prep the mushrooms:
    Dice the lion’s mane mushrooms into small pieces.

  2. Sauté:
    In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and sauté for 5–7 minutes until golden and moisture has evaporated. Let cool completely.

  3. Mix the patties:
    In a large bowl, combine ground beef, cooled mushrooms, onion, garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined.

  4. Form the burgers:
    Shape mixture into 6 evenly sized patties.

  5. Grill or pan-fry:
    Cook over medium-high heat on a grill or in a skillet for about 4–5 minutes per side, or until internal temperature reaches 160°F.

  6. Serve:
    Enjoy on your favorite bun with toppings like lettuce, tomato, cheese, and homemade sauce.

Notes

  • Letting the mushrooms cool before mixing helps the patties hold together better.

  • You can also freeze uncooked patties between parchment paper for later.

  • These are juicy, earthy, and pair well with sharp cheddar or garlic aioli.
