Another easy sandwich that my boys liked. They had trouble with onions, but I chopped them REALLY fine and I don't know that they knew they where there, did you guys, lol.

ingredients

1 slice American cheese
1 slice swiss cheese
¹⁄₄ lb ground beef
¹⁄₄ cup onions, sliced or 1/4 cup onion, diced
3 tablespoons butter, divided
2 slices rye bread

directions

Sauté onions until golden in 2 tablespoons butter until translucent and lightly golden.
Remove from the pan.
Form the meat patty so it will fit the bread.
Grill to desired doneness.
Butter bread on one side; put buttered side down on hot griddle, put 1 slice cheese followed by onions then cooked patty, followed by cheese.
Butter one side of the other slice of bread and place on top buttered side out.
Fry until bread is crisp but not burned (I have trouble with this part), turn over and do the same thing on the other side. Cheese should be well melted.
Slice on the diagonal.

This is a great, simple recipe. I liked the combo of melty-american & tangy swiss. I also like a big dash of worsterchire (?) on top & a slather of mustard. THANKS!

5 Stars from the peanut gallery. We used sourdough instead of rye bread, but otherwise followed the recipe. Delicious. Repeats have been requested.

Yum! I made two of these and used more beef. I also salt and peppered outside of the patties before cooking (personal preference). This is a great recipe!
