- Form beef into 4 equal patties, and season both sides with salt and pepper. Melt 2 tablespoons in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches if necessary, cook patties for 5 minutes, flip and cook an additional 4 to 6 minutes, until desired doneness, or reaches 160°F for well-done. Repeat with remaining patties.
- Generously butter on side of each slice of bread with 1 tablespoon butter. Place 2 slices of bread, buttered-side-down, in the same clean skillet. Top each slice of bread evenly with roughly a ¼ cup of onion mixture, 1 patty, 2 slices of Swiss cheese, 2 slices of bacon and 2 bread slices, buttered-side-down. cook until bread is toasted, and cheese is melted, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining bread slices, patties, onion mixture, bacon and Swiss cheese.
- Slice patty melts in half, and serve.
