| 1 tsp | olive oil |
| 12 ounces | crimini mushrooms (sliced) |

Place the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium high heat.
Add the sliced mushrooms and cook, tossing frequently, until caramelized (about 10 minutes). Remove to a plate and place in the refrigerator to cool.
When the mushrooms are cool mix 2/3 with the ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper and sage until well blended. Pat into two burgers.
When ready to cook heat a medium skillet over medium high heat. Add the burgers and cook for about 7 minutes on the first side. Turn.
Top the burgers with the remaining mushrooms, a slice of tomato and then the cheese. Cook for about 7 - 10 minutes until the cheese has melted slighty.
