### Instructions:
1. **Sauté the Onions & Mushrooms:**
In a skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tbsp butter. Add onions and cook until soft and golden, about 8–10 minutes. Add mushrooms and a pinch of salt. Sauté until they release their moisture and turn golden brown. Set aside.
2. **Shape & Cook the Patties:**
Form the ground beef into 2 thin oval-shaped patties, roughly the size of your bread. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Cook in a hot skillet or griddle until browned and cooked through (about 3–4 minutes per side). Remove and set aside.
3. **Assemble the Patty Melt:**
Lay out the bread slices. On each bottom slice, place a slice of Swiss cheese, a cooked beef patty, a generous spoonful of the mushroom-onion mixture, and another slice of Swiss cheese. Top with the second bread slice.
4. **Grill to Golden Perfection:**
Butter the outside of the sandwich and cook in a skillet over medium heat. Press gently with a spatula or panini press until the bread is crispy and the cheese is melted, about 3–4 minutes per side.
5. **Serve:**
Slice in half and serve hot, with pickles, fries, or a simple side salad.

### Variations & Tips:
* **Add flavor:** Mix Dijon mustard into the mushrooms for a tangy twist.
* **Swap the cheese:** Try Gruyère or provolone if Swiss isn’t your thing.
* **Use caramelized onions only** for a classic patty melt without mushrooms.
* **Want it spicy?** Add pepper jack cheese or a dash of hot sauce to the beef.
