- 4 slices rye or sourdough bread

- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp ketchup
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard

Instructions
- Prepare the secret sauce by mixing ketchup, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce in a small bowl. Set aside.
- In a skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tbsp of butter and sauté sliced onions until golden brown (about 10 minutes).
- Form ground beef into four patties slightly larger than the bread slices. Season with salt and pepper.
- In the same skillet, cook patties for about 4-5 minutes per side until desired doneness. Top each patty with Swiss cheese during the last minute of cooking.
