Instructions



1. To prepare filling: Heat butter in 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and onion; cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in chipotle pepper sauce and Swiss cheese.
   
   
2. To prepare burgers: Combine ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, chipotle pepper sauce and salt in medium bowl. Divide mixture into 8 equal portions; form into patties no more than 1/2-inch thick. Take one patty and spread some mushroom mixture in center, leaving about 1/2-inch around the edges. Place a second patty on top of mushroom mixture. Press edges together, making one patty. Repeat with remaining mixture.
   
   
3. Grill or pan-fry burgers for about 10 to 15 minutes on each side, until no longer pink. To serve, place burgers in hamburger buns. Add lettuce, tomato and red onion slices, if desired.
