Categories     Beef

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 burger patty
salt,black pepper,granulated garlic to taste
butter, melted as needed
2 pieces italian bread
2 tablespoons mayonnaise with roasted garlic and mustard
2 slices swiss cheese
2 slices cheddar cheese
1/2 c sliced onions

Steps:

  • 1. Season one side of the burger with salt, pepper and garlic. Place on grill or in broiler, seasoned side down. Then season the other side. Cook to desired doneness. While burger is cooking, melt butter in fry pan on medium heat or in electric skillet (set at 350 degrees). Spread mayonnaise onto bread. Drop bread, dry side down, onto melted pools and swirl to coat (to avoid sticking/burning). Cover one slice of bread with two slices of Swiss cheese and the other with two slices of Cheddar. In a separate frying pan, melt butter and sauté sliced onions. Season with salt, pepper and garlic while heating. Place cooked burger patty on top of one cheese-topped slice of bread and the sautéed onions on the other. Carefully close and cut sandwich.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ground beef for the patty. An 80/20 blend of chuck and sirloin is a good option.
  • Season the beef patty generously with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Cook the patty over medium heat until it is cooked through. Do not overcook the patty, or it will become dry and tough.
  • Use a good quality rye bread. A hearty, crusty bread will hold up well to the melted cheese and beef patty.
  • Butter the bread before grilling it. This will help to prevent the bread from sticking to the grill and will also add a nice flavor.
  • Use a good quality Swiss cheese. A sharp, flavorful cheese will add a lot of flavor to the sandwich.
  • Add a layer of caramelized onions to the sandwich. This will add a sweet and savory flavor to the sandwich.
  • Serve the sandwich hot and fresh. This is the best way to enjoy the flavors of the sandwich.
