Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tbsp Mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp Mustard (divided)
  • 2 tsp Dill Pickle Relish
  • 2 tbsp Ketchup
  • 1/2 lb Ground Beef
  • 4 slices Rye Bread
  • 2 slices Muenster Cheese
  • 2 slices Cheddar Cheese
  • 1 small Onion (Sliced thin)
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire Sauce (divided)
  • 1 tsp Red Wine Vinegar
  • 2 tbsp Butter

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Special Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, ½ teaspoon of mustard, dill pickle relish, and ketchup. Set it aside.
  2. Mix the Beef Seasoning: Combine the ground beef with the remaining ½ teaspoon of mustard, ½ teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce, pinch of salt, and a dash of pepper. Gently combine.
  3. Shape the Patties: Divide the seasoned beef into two equal portions and shape them into patties.
