Ingredients
– 1 pound ground beef (80/20 for the juiciness)
– 4 slices of rye bread

– 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
– 2 tablespoons butter (for toasting the bread)
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
– ½ cup mayonnaise
– 1 tablespoon ketchup
– 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
– 1 teaspoon hot sauce (optional)
Equipment Needed
– Skillet or griddle
– Spatula
– Mixing bowl
– Knife and cutting board
– Small bowl for the sauce
Step-by-Step Instructions
First, let’s start by preparing the secret sauce. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, ketchup, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce if you like a little kick. Mix all the ingredients until they’re well blended and set the sauce aside. The smell is so irresistible that I could eat it by the spoonful! Now, let’s move on to the beef. In a mixing bowl, season the ground beef with salt and pepper to taste, then form it into two equal-sized patties. I find that making them slightly larger than the bread helps them fit perfectly when we’re all done. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
