As soon as my mom tasted it, she rushed over to get the recipe from me.

Directions:

  1. Start by making the secret sauce. In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, sweet pickle relish, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well and set aside.

  2. In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are caramelized, about 15-20 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

  3. Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions and shape them into thin patties. Season both sides with salt and pepper.

  4. In the same skillet, cook the patties over medium-high heat until they are cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

  5. Butter one side of each slice of rye bread. Place 4 slices, butter-side down, on a clean skillet or griddle over medium heat.

  6. Top each slice of bread with a slice of Swiss cheese, a cooked patty, caramelized onions, a slice of cheddar cheese, and another slice of bread, butter-side up.

  7. Cook until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 2-3 minutes per side.

  8. Once done, remove from the skillet and let the patty melts rest for a minute before slicing them in half. Serve immediately with the secret sauce on the side or drizzled over the top.

Variations & Tips

For a lighter version, use ground turkey or chicken instead of beef. You can also switch up the cheeses to your preference, like using pepper jack for a spicy kick. If you’re looking for a vegetarian option, try using a plant-based burger patty. Don’t skip the secret sauce—it’s what makes this recipe special!

This delightful and satisfying dish will bring a touch of nostalgia to any meal. Enjoy this classic comfort food with loved ones, and make sure to savor every bite! 🍽️✨
