A savory grilled sandwich packed with juicy ground beef, buttery sautéed mushrooms, melted Swiss cheese, and toasted sourdough—perfect for an indulgent yet easy comfort meal.

Ingredients

For the Mushrooms:

  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 tsp salt & black pepper

For the Beef Patties:

  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend)
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp salt & black pepper

Additional Ingredients:

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

Instructions

  1. Sauté the Mushrooms: In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and sauté sliced mushrooms until golden and tender, about 5–7 minutes. Set aside.
  2. Prepare the Beef Patties: Mix the ground beef with Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Shape into 4 patties slightly larger than your bread slices. Cook patties in the same skillet for 3–4 minutes per side, until browned and fully cooked. Set aside.
  3. Assemble the Sandwiches: Spread mayo or garlic aioli on one side of each bread slice. On the uncoated side of two slices, layer one slice of Swiss cheese, a beef patty, sautéed mushrooms, another slice of Swiss, and top with another slice of bread (mayo side up).
  4. Grill the Sandwiches: Heat oil in a clean skillet over medium heat. Grill sandwiches for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and cheese is melted. Press lightly with a spatula.
  5. Serve: Remove from skillet, let rest for 1 minute, slice diagonally, and serve hot.

Notes

  • Use Gruyère cheese for a nuttier, stronger flavor.
  • Try a vegetarian version with grilled portobello mushrooms.
  • For extra crunch, add caramelized onions or crispy bacon.
