Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 8 slices of rye bread
- 8 slices of Swiss cheese
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 4 tbsp butter, plus more for spreading
- Salt and pepper to taste
- For the Secret Sauce:
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tbsp relish
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Begin by mixing the secret sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Adjust seasoning to taste, then set aside.
- In a skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tbsp of butter. Add the thinly sliced onions, season with salt and pepper, and cook until caramelized, about 10-15 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
- Form the ground beef into 4 patties, slightly larger than your bread slices. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
- In the same skillet, cook the patties to your desired doneness, about 4 minutes per side for medium. Remove and set aside.
- Butter one side of each bread slice. To assemble, spread the secret sauce on the non-buttered side of 4 slices, add a slice of cheese, a patty, caramelized onions, another slice of cheese, and top with another bread slice, buttered side up.
- In a clean skillet over medium heat, grill the sandwiches until golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 3-4 minutes per side.
