Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef (80% lean)
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 4 slices sourdough bread
- 1 large sweet onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter (for cooking and spreading)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add onions and cook until golden brown, about 10-15 minutes.
- While onions caramelize, shape ground beef into patties slightly larger than the bread slices. Season with salt and pepper.
- Increase heat to medium-high, cook patties for 4-5 minutes per side until desired doneness is reached.
- Top each patty with Swiss cheese during the last minute of cooking; cover to melt.
- Butter one side of each slice of sourdough. Assemble by placing one slice butter-side down in another skillet, add the cheesy patty, caramelized onions, then top with another slice butter-side up.
- Grill until both sides are golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.
