Steps:
- Whisk together the vinegar, salt, pepper, garlic and olive oil. Toss with the mushroom caps in a wide bowl. Rub the marinade over the tops of the mushroom caps and place them on a baking sheet, rounded side up. Let sit for 15 minutes. Don't rinse the bowl, because you'll use any oil and vinegar residue to dress the spinach.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil, salt generously and blanch the spinach for 20 seconds. Transfer to a bowl of ice water, drain and squeeze dry. Chop coarsely and toss in the bowl with the residue of the marinade. Set aside.
- Prepare a medium-hot grill, heat a heavy skillet over medium-high heat, or preheat an electric grill or panini pan on medium-high. Season the mushrooms as desired with salt and pepper. Place the mushrooms on the hot grill or pan, rounded side down. Cook them for about 6 to 8 minutes, depending on the thickness, until lightly browned, and moist. Turn over and cook for another 6 minutes. Turn over for a minute to reheat the top, then flip back over and place the cheese on top. Continue to cook until the cheese melts. If using a panini grill, cook 6 to 8 minutes. Open the grill and place the cheese on top. Wait for it to melt. Place a mound of spinach on the bottom half of each hamburger bun and place the mushrooms, rounded side up, on top of the spinach. Top with your choice of condiments and serve.

Steps:
- For the burgers: In a shallow baking dish, use a whisk to combine the lemon juice, olive oil, Worcestershire, thyme, and garlic powder. Place mushrooms in the marinade, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Turn over the mushrooms, cover again, and refrigerate at least another hour. (Mushrooms can marinate for several hours.)
- For the onions: In the meantime, make the onions. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and cook about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the water, cover, and reduce heat to low. Cook 20 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are golden brown. Remove the pan from the heat. Season the onions with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- For the aioli: Combine all ingredients in a small bowl. Refrigerate until serving time.
- To finish the burgers: Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Remove mushrooms from marinade and season with salt and pepper on both sides. Place the mushrooms on a baking sheet, gill sides up. Bake for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and arrange cheese and caramelized onions on the gills of each mushroom and bake another 5 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Place 1 mushroom on each muffin and garnish with aioli and arugula. Serve immediately.
Tips:
- Choose the right mushrooms. White button mushrooms are the most common type used in cheeseburgers, but you can also use cremini or portobello mushrooms. If using portobellos, slice them thinly so they cook evenly.
- Cook the mushrooms properly. Mushrooms should be cooked until they are soft and browned. You can cook them in a skillet over medium heat or on a grill.
- Use a good quality cheese. Cheddar is the classic cheese for cheeseburgers, but you can also use other cheeses such as Swiss, mozzarella, or blue cheese.
- Cook the burgers to your desired doneness. Ground beef can be cooked to rare, medium-rare, medium, or well-done. The cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the burgers.
- Assemble the burgers. Place the cooked burgers on the bottom buns. Top with the cheese, mushrooms, and any other desired toppings. Add the top buns and serve.
Conclusion:
Mushroom cheeseburgers are a delicious and easy-to-make meal. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a burger that is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a quick and tasty weeknight dinner, give mushroom cheeseburgers a try. You won't be disappointed!
