I've never had the nerve to try making this sandwich, but it's so gooey and good I don't know what I've been waiting for. A nice change from the ordinary burger. Recipe & Photo from: Food.com

1 lb ground beef (i use chuck)
8 slice sourdough bread
1 Tbsp butter
1/2 medium onion, sliced thin and caramelized
1/2 tsp salt
8 slice american cheese
4 slice swiss cheese
2 Tbsp butter for bread
SAUCE:
2 Tbsp thousand island dressing

Steps:

  • 1. Prepare the caramelized onions first in 1 Tbsp. butter and set aside. Also make the sauce ahead and store in refrigerator until ready.
