Directions
1
Combine mayonnaise, herbes de Provence, Worcestershire sauce, and lemon juice in a small bowl until well mixed. Cover bowl and refrigerate herbed mayonnaise until ready to use.
2
Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat, turning occasionally, until crisp. Drain on paper towels. Discard all but 1 tablespoon drippings from the skillet.
3
Add mushrooms and soy sauce to the skillet; cook over medium heat until mushrooms browned and soft, 5 to 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
4
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
5
Combine ground beef, garlic granules, salt, and black pepper in a bowl; form into patties.
6
Cook patties on the preheated grill, 3 to 5 minutes per side, topping each with 2 slices cheese and covering grill to melt cheese during the last 2 minutes of cooking. An instant-read thermometer inserted into centers should read 160 degrees F (65 degrees C).
7
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
8
Arrange hamburger buns on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly toast both sides buns in the preheated oven. Transfer buns to serving plates.
9
Spread herbed mayonnaise on each bun. Add burgers to bottom buns; add desired toppings and top buns to burgers.
