05 - 1 tbsp olive oil
06 - 8 oz sliced cremini or button mushrooms

→ Waffle Fries
13 - 1½ lbs frozen waffle fries
14 - 1 tbsp olive oil (for baking)
15 - Salt, to taste
# Preparation steps:
01 - Preheat oven to 425°F.
02 - Arrange waffle fries in a single layer on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and bake for 22 to 28 minutes, turning halfway, until golden and crisp. Season with salt.
03 - In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Gently mix and shape into four equal patties slightly larger than buns.
04 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and mushrooms and sauté for 7 to 8 minutes until softened and golden. Remove from heat and set aside.
05 - Using the same skillet or a grill, cook patties for 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium doneness.
06 - Top each patty with sautéed mushrooms and onions, then a slice of Swiss cheese. Cover with a lid and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until cheese melts.
07 - Toast buns if desired. Spread mayonnaise and/or Dijon mustard on bottom halves. Layer arugula or lettuce and place patties on top. Cover with top bun.
08 - Serve burgers hot accompanied by waffle fries.
