  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 sandwiches 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced
  • 4 slices rye bread
  • 4 slices Swiss cheese (or your preferred cheese)
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, or your favorite burger seasoning

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine ground beef with salt, pepper, and optional seasonings. Form into four patties.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the patties for 3-4 minutes per side until browned and cooked through.
  3. Add sliced onions to the skillet and caramelize over medium heat for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
  4. Butter one side of each rye bread slice. Assemble the sandwich with cheese, patty, onions, and remaining cheese, then grill until golden brown.
  5. Remove from skillet, let cool slightly, slice in half, and serve.

Notes

  • Use high-quality ground beef for maximum flavor.
  • Allow onions to caramelize slowly for the best results.
  • Generously butter the bread for crispy crust.
  • Press down on sandwiches while grilling for even cooking.
  • Feel free to experiment with different cheeses and toppings.
