Cooking Essentials

Method

Prepare the Burger Patty

  1. 1

    Form the Patties

    In a bowl, mix the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Form into 2 equal-sized patties.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they reach your desired doneness.

Cook the Bacon

  1. 3

    Sauté the Bacon

    In the same skillet, add the bacon strips and cook until crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Remove and set aside on paper towels.

Sauté the Vegetables

  1. 4

    Cook Onions and Mushrooms

    In the bacon grease, add a tablespoon of olive oil if needed. Sauté the sliced onion until translucent, about 3 minutes. Then add the sliced mushrooms and cook until soft, about 5 more minutes.

Assemble the Melt

  1. 5

    Prepare the Bread

    Butter one side of each slice of sourdough bread.

  2. 6

    Layer the Ingredients

    On the unbuttered side of two slices, layer one patty, two slices of Swiss cheese, the sautéed onions and mushrooms, and two bacon strips. Top with another slice of bread, buttered side out.

Grill the Sandwich

  1. 7

    Grill the Melt

    In the skillet, grill the sandwich over medium heat until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes on each side, ensuring the cheese melts.

  2. 8

    Serve

    Once grilled to perfection, slice the sandwich in half and serve hot.
