Ingredients
- •- 1 lb ground chuck (80/20 blend)
- •- 4 thick-cut sourdough bread slices
- •- 8 oz processed American cheese slices
- •- 4 oz Swiss cheese slices
- •- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- •- 1/4 cup Thousand Island dressing
- •- 2 tbsp bacon grease
- •- 2 medium yellow onions, finely diced
- •- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- 11. Form ground chuck into four thin rectangular patties, making them slightly larger than bread slices. Season aggressively with kosher salt and cracked black pepper.
- 22. Heat cast-iron skillet over high heat. Add bacon grease and sear patties until deeply caramelized, about 3-4 minutes per side. Achieve medium-rare doneness with crispy exterior.
- 33. Meanwhile, butter sourdough bread generously on exterior sides. Toast in separate skillet until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- 44. Layer patties with American and Swiss cheese, allowing cheese to melt slightly from meat's residual heat.
- 55. Spread Thousand Island dressing generously on inner bread surfaces.
- 66. Assemble sandwich by placing cheesy patty between toasted sourdough, pressing gently to integrate flavors.
