Instructions

1. Combine Ground beef, salt and pepper in large bowl, mixing lightly but thoroughly.  Lightly shape into eight thin mini-patties.  Heat large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Add patties; cook 5 to 6  minutes or until instant-read thermometer inserted horizontally into center registers 160°F, turning once. Top each burger with half cheese slice. Remove burgers; keep warm.

   Cook's Tip:

   Cooking times are for fresh or thoroughly thawed ground beef. Ground beef should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F. Color is not a reliable indicator of ground beef doneness.

2. Add onions and mushrooms to same skillet and cook for 2 to 4 minutes until tender.  Add eggs and cook and stir 2 minutes until desired doneness.  Season as desired.

3. Place burgers on bottoms of buns.  Top burgers evenly with egg mixture.   Close sandwiches.
