- In a medium bowl mix together ground beef and hamburger seasoning. Divide mixture equally into 2 parts. Form a round balls and flatten out into an large thin oval shapes. Place both oval patties onto a plate.
- Heat 1 TBS butter in a large skillet until it sizzles. Place hamburger patties into hot skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes until golden brown on the bottom and partially cooked through. Turn patties over and cook an additional 4-6 minutes until patties are cooked through. Remove from skillet to a plate.
- Wipe out any grease from skillet and place back on medium heat.
- Butter 1 side of 2 pieces of bread. Place the 2 pieces of bread buttered side down into hot skillet. Place 2 pieces of cheese on the bread in skillet. Place cooked burgers on top of cheese. Top each burger with the caramelized onion equally. Place 2 more slices of cheese on top of each of the onion covered burgers.
- Spread 1 TBS of Thousand Island dressing on each of the other 2 pieces of bread and place dressing side own on top of the cheese.
- With remaining butter, spread on top of the bread in skillet.
- Once bread gets toasty on bottom and cheese starts to melts, flip over sandwiches carefully. Toast the bottom of sandwich until golden and cheese has melted all the way through.
