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.
