Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 3 dashes Worcestershire sauce
  • Kosher salt to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 large onion thinly sliced
  • 8 slices rye bread
  • Mayonnaise optional
  • 8 slices Swiss cheese

Instructions
 

  • Mix ground beef with Worcestershire, salt, and pepper. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions, and shape each into a patty slightly larger than the bread slices.
  • Melt the butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until caramelized, about 20-30 minutes. Remove onions and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, cook the patties over medium heat until browned and cooked to desired doneness, about 4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
  • Lay out 4 slices of rye bread; spread mayonnaise on them if desired. Top each with a slice of Swiss cheese, a patty, a quarter of the caramelized onions, another slice of cheese, and another slice of bread.
  • Heat the skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook until the bread is golden and the cheese is melted, about 3-4 minutes per side.
