Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
  • 4 slices cheddar cheese
  • 4 slices sourdough bread
  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp hot sauce

Instructions

  1. Caramelize the onions: In a pan over medium heat, melt 1 tbsp of butter and sauté onions until soft and golden brown (about 15-20 minutes).
  2. Prepare the patties: Shape ground beef into four equal patties (4 oz each) and season with salt and pepper.
  3. Cook the patties: In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the patties for about 4 minutes on each side until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F.
  4. Assemble sandwiches: Butter one side of each slice of sourdough. On the unbuttered side, layer cheese, a patty, caramelized onions, more cheese, and top with another slice of bread.
  5. Grill: In the same skillet, grill the sandwiches buttered-side down until golden brown (about 3 minutes), then flip to grill the other side.
  6. Make the sauce: Mix ketchup, mayonnaise, and hot sauce in a bowl until combined.

Nutrition

Keywords: Substitute ground beef with turkey or veggie alternatives for lighter options. Experiment with different cheeses like pepper jack or Swiss for varied flavors. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days; reheat in a skillet.
