- 8 slices American or Swiss cheese
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 4 slices sourdough or rye bread
- 2 tbsp butter (for grilling)
- Special Sauce: 2 tbsp ketchup, 2 tbsp mayonnaise, 1 tbsp relish
Instructions
- For the special sauce, mix ketchup, mayonnaise, and relish in a small bowl; set aside.
- In a skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter and add sliced onions. Cook until golden brown and caramelized (about 15 minutes).
- Season ground beef with salt and pepper; form into patties slightly larger than the bread.
- In another skillet over medium-high heat, cook patties for about 4-5 minutes per side; add cheese on top in the last minute to melt.
- Assemble the melts: Butter one side of each slice of bread. In a skillet, place a slice butter-side down, add a patty with melted cheese and caramelized onions, then top with another slice butter-side up.
- Grill each sandwich for about 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.
