# Recipe Steps:
01 - Combine ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, kosher salt, and black pepper in a mixing bowl. Form into 4 equal patties slightly larger than bread slices.
02 - Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add sliced onions and 1/4 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and caramelized, about 12 to 15 minutes. Remove and set aside.
03 - Increase skillet heat to medium-high. Cook patties 3 to 4 minutes per side until browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
04 - Wipe skillet clean. Butter one side of each bread slice. Place 4 slices buttered side down in skillet. Layer each with a slice of Swiss cheese, a beef patty, caramelized onions, another Swiss cheese slice, and top with remaining bread slices buttered side up.
05 - Cook over medium heat until bread is golden and cheese melts, about 3 minutes per side. Press gently with spatula to create an even crust.
06 - Slice each sandwich in half and serve hot.
