Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 large onion
  • 4 slices sandwich bread
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • ½ tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Thinly slice the 1 large onion. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and add the onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and golden, about 10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add the 1 lb ground beef to the skillet with the onion. Break it up with a spoon and cook until browned and no longer pink, about 8 minutes. Season with 0.5 tsp salt, 0.25 tsp black pepper, and 0.5 tsp dried oregano.

  3. 3

    In a small bowl, mix 2 tbsp mayonnaise with a pinch of dried oregano (or fresh herbs if you have them) to make a quick sauce.

  4. 4

    Toast the 4 slices of bread until golden and crisp.

  5. 5

    Spread the herb mayonnaise on each slice of toast. Pile the meat and onion mixture onto two slices, then top with the remaining bread. Cut in half and serve warm.
