1
Prepare the Ingredients
Finely slice the onion and mushrooms. Set aside. Form the ground chuck into two equal-sized patties and season both sides with salt and black pepper.

2
Cook the Beef Patties
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon of butter. Once melted and bubbling, add the beef patties. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired doneness. Add a slice of Swiss cheese on top of each patty before you remove them from the skillet, allowing the cheese to melt.

3
Sauté Onions and Mushrooms
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of butter. Once melted, add the sliced onions and mushrooms. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes or until the onions are translucent and the mushrooms are tender. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

4
Build the Sandwich
Spread 1 tablespoon of Russian dressing on one side of each slice of marbled rye bread. On two slices, layer the cooked patties with melted Swiss cheese, followed by the sautéed onions and mushrooms. Top with the remaining slices of bread, dressing side down.

5
Grill the Patty Melt
Wipe the skillet clean and return it to medium heat. Grill the assembled sandwiches for about 4-5 minutes per side or until the bread is golden brown and crispy. Press down slightly with a spatula to ensure even grilling.

6
Serve
Once grilled to perfection, remove from the skillet and cut in half. Serve hot with extra Russian dressing on the side for dipping if desired.
