Here's a mouthwatering cheeseburger that's easy and quick. I came up with it one night when I realized I'd run out of hamburger buns. My husband loved the tang and toasty crunch of the sour-dough bread.—Michelle Dommel, Quakertown, Pennsylvania

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish
  • 1/2 pound ground beef
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 small onion, sliced and separated into rings
  • 4 tablespoons butter, divided
  • 4 slices sourdough bread
  • 4 slices Swiss cheese

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, ketchup and relish; cover and refrigerate.
  2. Shape beef into two oval patties. In a large skillet, cook burgers over medium heat for 4-5 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 160°. Season with salt and pepper; remove and keep warm. In the same skillet, saute onion in 1 tablespoon butter until tender. Remove and keep warm.
  3. Using 2 tablespoons butter, butter one side of each slice of bread. Melt remaining butter in the skillet. Place bread, buttered side up, in the skillet; cook for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Turn; top two of the bread slices with the cheese. Cook 2 minutes longer or until cheese is melted.
  4. To serve, place toast cheese side up on a plate. Top with a burger, relish mixture, onion and remaining toast.
