Prepare the Onions
Slice the onion into thin rings. In a skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter and add the onions. Cook until they are caramelized, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Cook the Beef
In a separate skillet, add the ground beef and season with salt and black pepper. Cook over medium-high heat until browned, breaking it into crumbles, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.

Combine Beef and Onions

Cook the Sandwich
In the same skillet used for the beef, melt the remaining tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Place the assembled sandwich in the skillet and grill until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Ensure the cheese is melted.
