Ingredients
Ground beef
Rye bread
Sliced cheese
Thinly sliced onions
Chopped pickles
Dijon mustard
Instructions
Season ground beef with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Divide into four 4-ounce patties, shaping with 1/4-inch thickness.
Heat cast iron skillet to 400°F for 3 minutes. Add 1 teaspoon oil, then cook patties 3 minutes per side.
Brush both bread sides with mustard. Assemble sandwiches: patty + cheese + second patty + onions + pickles.
Reheat skillet to 300°F. Press assembled sandwiches in pan for 1-2 minutes, cover, and cook 5 minutes per side until crispy.
Notes
Use sourdough or whole wheat as rye alternatives
Sharp cheddar or Swiss cheese deliver optimal melt
Add a second cheese slice for extra gooeyness
Serve with fries or tomato soup
