Ingredients
Patties
- ½ lb of Ground beef
- 4 slices of Rye bread
- 4 slices of Swiss cheese
- 1 large thinly sliced Onion
- Mushrooms
- 4 tbsp of Butter plus more for spreading
- Salt and Black pepper to taste
For the Sauce
- ½ cup of Mayonnaise substitute with plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp of Ketchup
- 1 tbsp of Relish
- 1 tsp of Worcestershire sauce
- ½ tsp of Garlic powder
- ½ tsp of Onion powder
- Salt and Black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Mix the sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Adjust seasoning to taste, then set aside.
- For the ground beef patties, season with salt and pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and a splash of Worcestershire sauce. Form into patties slightly larger than your bread slices.
- In a small 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 bowl.
- In the same skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tbsp of butter. Add the mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, and cook until caramelized, about 10-15 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
- In a larger skillet on medium-high heat, 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 sauce on the non-buttered side of 4 slices, add a slice of cheese, a patty, caramelized onions, mushrooms, and 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.
- ENJOY!
