1
Form the Patties
Divide the ground beef into two equal portions and gently shape them into two patties, each weighing approximately a quarter pound. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up during cooking.
2
Season the Patties
Sprinkle both sides of each patty with salt and black pepper to taste.

3
Heat the Pan
In a skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil and allow it to heat up until shimmering.
4
Cook the Patties
Place the seasoned patties in the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side until a nice crust forms, then flip and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes or until the desired doneness is reached.

5
Cook the Mushrooms
In the same skillet, after removing the patties, add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they are golden brown.
6
Add Cheese
Place the cooked mushrooms on top of each patty and sprinkle the bleu cheese crumbles generously over the mushrooms. Cover the skillet for 1-2 minutes to allow the cheese to melt.

7
Toast the Buns
While the cheese is melting, toast the burger buns in the skillet until lightly golden.
8
Build the Burger
On the bottom half of each toasted bun, place the patty with melted cheese and mushrooms. Top with a generous handful of fried onions. Place the top half of the bun on and press down gently.

Serve Hot
Serve the Black and Bleu Smash immediately with your favorite sides, such as fries or a salad.
