Method

Prepare the Burger Patty

  1. 1

    Mix and Shape

    In a bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently and shape into 4 equal patties.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.

Prepare Toppings

  1. 3

    Caramelize Onions and Mushrooms

    In a skillet, heat some oil over medium heat. Add sliced onions and mushrooms. Cook, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and caramelized, about 10-15 minutes.

  2. 4

    Prepare Fresno Chili

    Slice the Fresno chili and remove seeds if desired for less heat.

Make the Burger Sauce

  1. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, ketchup, Dijon mustard, and hot sauce. Adjust hot sauce to taste.

Assemble the Burger

  1. 6

    Build the Burger

    Toast the burger buns if desired. Place a cooked beef patty on each bun, top with a slice of Qualicum cheese, caramelized onions and mushrooms, Fresno chili, and a generous dollop of burger sauce. Top with the other half of the bun.
