1
Slice the Onion
Peel and slice the medium onion into thin rings.
2
Slice the Mushrooms
Clean and slice the mushrooms into thin slices.
3
Form the Beef Patty
Shape the 4 oz of ground beef into a patty, seasoning both sides with salt and black pepper.

4
Cook the Beef Patty
In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the beef patty for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired doneness.
5
Sauté the Onions
In the same skillet, add a little butter if needed and lower the heat. Add the sliced onions and cook until they are soft and caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.
6
Sauté the Mushrooms
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet with the onions and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until tender.

7
Butter the Bread
Spread butter on one side of each slice of bread.
8
Layer the Ingredients
On the non-buttered side of one slice, layer the Swiss cheese, followed by the cooked beef patty, sautéed onions, and mushrooms. Top with another slice of Swiss cheese and the second slice of bread, buttered side up.

9
Grill the Sandwich
In a skillet over medium heat, place the sandwich and grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted. You can press down slightly with a spatula for an even grill.
10
Serve
Once grilled, remove from heat, cut in half if desired, and serve hot.
