      Instructions<\/h3>\n
      \n

      MAKE THE SECRET SAUCE<\/h4>\n
        \n
      • \n
        In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, pickle juice, paprika, and garlic powder.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
      • \n
        Whisk until fully blended and set aside.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
        \n

        COOK THE ONION AND BEEF<\/h4>\n
          \n
        • \n
          Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add the sliced onions. Cook for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are deeply golden brown and caramelized. If the onions start to stick, add a splash of water.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
        • \n
          In a bowl, mix together the ground beef, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Form into four thin, oval-shaped patties.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
        • \n
          Cook the patties in the same skillet over medium heat until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
          \n

          ASSEMBLE AND COOK THE SANDWICHES<\/h4>\n
            \n
          • \n
            Spread one side of each bread slice with softened butter.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
          • \n
            Layer the bottom bread slices buttered-side down with Swiss cheese, beef patty, caramelized onions, secret sauce, cheddar cheese, and top bread slice buttered-side up.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
          • \n
            Cook in batches in the skillet over medium heat until both sides are golden brown and the cheese is fully melted, about 1-2 minutes per side.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
            \n

            STORAGE<\/h4>\n
              \n
            • \n
              Store leftover secret sauce covered in the fridge for up to 5 days.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
