1
Form the Patty
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined, then form into one large patty or two smaller patties, depending on your preference.
2
Cook the Patty
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patty and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side until a crust forms. Flip it and cook for another 4-5 minutes or until it reaches your desired doneness. Remove from heat and set aside.

3
Cook Onions and Mushrooms
In the same skillet, add 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add the sliced onions and mushrooms. Sauté over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are soft and caramelized. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.

4
Prepare the Sandwich
In the same skillet, spread butter on one side of two slices of rye bread. Place them butter-side down in the skillet. Layer one slice with a slice of Swiss cheese, followed by the cooked burger patty, sautéed mushrooms, and onions, then top with another slice of Swiss cheese and the second slice of bread (butter-side up).
5
Grill the Sandwich
Cook the sandwich on medium heat for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted. You might want to press down slightly with a spatula for even grilling.
6
Serve
Once grilled to perfection, remove the sandwich from the skillet. Cut in half and serve hot with your favorite condiments.
