Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1/4 cup crushed peppercorns
• Salt to taste

• Lettuce and tomato slices for garnish

Instructions:

Warm up the grill or pan on the stove over medium-high heat

Add salt to the ground beef and shape it into 4 burger patties

On both sides of each patty, press crushed peppercorns down

For medium-rare, grill burgers for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side

You can change the cooking time to get the level of doneness you want

Add butter to a skillet and heat it over medium-low heat while the burgers are cooking

After you add the sliced onion, cook for about 10 minutes, or until it gets soft and caramelized

Put the sour cream, Dijon mustard, and brandy in a separate small saucepan

Stir the food over low heat until its fully heated through

Do not let it boil

For a minute or two, toast the hamburger buns on the grill until they get a little brown

Each burger patty should have a slice of Swiss cheese on it

Let the cheese melt in the last minute of cooking

Cover the bottom half of each bun with brandy cream sauce

This will help you put the burgers together

Put lettuce, tomato slices, a burger patty, and caramelized onions on top

Put the top bun halves on top of the burgers to close them up, and serve right away
