1

Preheat an outdoor grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
2

Form three 1/3-pound hamburger patties, flattening each with your index and middle fingers to make a flat burger rather than a ball. Season both sides of the patties with salt and pepper.
3

Grill on the preheated grill until the centers are no longer pink, 10 to 12 minutes, turning once halfway through. An instant-read thermometer in the center should register at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
4

Meanwhile, melt butter in a saucepan over low heat. Raise the heat to medium-low, add the onion, and cook, stirring, until tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
5

Place 3 slices of bread on the grill. Top each with a slice of American cheese, a cooked patty, the sauteed onions, a slice of Swiss cheese, and the remaining bread. Grill the sandwiches until the cheese melts, about 1 minute per side.
