Finely minced onions

Instructions
1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, salt, garlic powder, pepper, minced onion, oregano (if using), and basil (if using). Mix until evenly combined.
2
Divide the meat mixture into 12 equal portions and shape each into thin patties, roughly 4 inches in diameter.
3
In a small bowl, blend the softened cream cheese and crumbled blue cheese until smooth and well combined.
4
Spoon the cheese mixture onto 6 of the patties, spreading it out while keeping about 1/2 inch around the edges free of cheese. If necessary, warm the cheese mixture in the microwave for 15 seconds to make it easier to spread.
5
Place the fresh sautéed mushrooms (or canned mushrooms) evenly over the cheese mixture on each patty.
6
Carefully place the remaining 6 patties on top of the filled patties and press down to seal the edges tightly to prevent the filling from leaking out.
7
Preheat your grill or broiler and cook the patties approximately 4 inches from the heat source. Grill or broil for about 10 to 15 minutes, flipping only once for optimal grilling, until the burgers reach your desired level of doneness and the cheese is melted.
8
For low-carb lovers, top each burger with a sprinkle of grated Swiss cheese before serving. For a classic touch, serve on buns with your favorite condiments and a couple of strips of crispy bacon on top.
