Cooking Directions

Prepare the Onions
Thinly slice the onion. In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt, cooking until they are soft and caramelized, about 10-15 minutes. Stir occasionally.

Form the Patties
While the onions are cooking, form the ground beef into 2 equal patties. Season both sides with salt and pepper.

Cook the Patties
In a separate skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness. Place a slice of Swiss cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.

Grill the Sandwich
In the same skillet used for the patties, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Place the assembled sandwich in the skillet and grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy. Repeat with the second sandwich.
