Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Slice the onion into thin rings. Season the beef patties with salt and black pepper on both sides.

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and place on paper towels to drain.

    Grill the Beef Patties

    In the same skillet or on a grill, add olive oil. Cook the beef patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness. Place a slice of swiss cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.

    In the remaining bacon grease, sauté the sliced onions until they are caramelized and golden brown.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Sandwich

    On one slice of bread, place a beef patty with melted cheese, add bacon, sautéed onions, and top it with another slice of bread.

  6. 6

    Grill the Sandwich

    Return the sandwich to the skillet or grill and toast until the bread is golden brown on both sides.
