Method
- In a heavy skillet, melt butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook for 5 minutes until softened. Reduce heat to medium-low, add salt, and cook for 30-40 minutes until deeply caramelized and jammy. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, sweet relish, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and black pepper. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- Divide ground beef into four equal portions. Shape into oval patties to match the bread shape. Season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Heat skillet over medium-high heat. Cook beef patties for 3-4 minutes per side until a brown crust forms and desired doneness is reached. Set patties aside to rest. Wipe out excess grease.
- Spread secret sauce on 4 slices of bread. Top each with a slice of Swiss cheese, a cooked patty, a scoop of caramelized onions, and a slice of cheddar cheese. Place the remaining 4 slices of bread on top.
- Butter the outside of the sandwiches. Cook in the skillet over medium-low heat for 3-5 minutes per side, gently pressing with a spatula, until the bread is golden and crispy and the cheeses are completely melted.
- Remove from skillet, slice in half diagonally, and serve hot.
Notes
You can substitute butter with mayonnaise for grilling the bread to achieve an extra crispy, even crust.
