Place the mushrooms and onions in a food processor and process until finely chopped. Place in a large bowl and add the ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, and pepper. Use a potato masher to mix thoroughly. Shape the mixture into four 4-inch patties. 2. Coat a large griddle or skillet with cooking spray and preheat over medium heat. Cook the burgers for about 4 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F. If desired, lay a slice of cheese over each burger, cover, and cook for another minute or just until the cheese melts. Alternatively, cook the burgers on an oiled grill rack over medium coals. 3.
