Ingredients

For the Patties and Mushrooms

  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend)
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 tsp salt & black pepper
  • 1 tbsp butter

For the Sandwich Assembly

  • 4 slices Swiss cheese
  • 4 slices sourdough or rye bread
  • 2 tbsp mayo or garlic aioli
  • 1 tbsp oil for grilling

Instructions

  1. Sauté Mushrooms: Heat butter over medium heat in a skillet and sauté the sliced mushrooms until they are golden brown and tender, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  2. Prepare Patties: In a bowl, combine ground beef with salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix gently and form into patties slightly wider than your bread slices.
  3. Cook Patties: In the same or a clean skillet over medium-high heat, cook the patties until browned and fully cooked through, approximately 4-5 minutes per side. Flip once during cooking.
  4. Assemble Sandwich: Spread mayo or garlic aioli evenly on each bread slice. Layer a slice of Swiss cheese on each piece of bread, add the cooked beef patty on one side, and top with sautéed mushrooms.
  5. Grill Sandwich: Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place the assembled sandwich in the skillet and cook until both sides are golden brown and the cheese has melted, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  6. Serve: Remove the sandwich from the skillet, slice in half, and serve hot with your favorite side dishes.

Notes

  • Swap sourdough for rye bread if you want a bolder flavor in your sandwich.
  • Enhance the melt by adding caramelized onions or a drizzle of Dijon mustard for extra richness.
