Ingredients
- Ground Beef (80/20 blend)
- Sliced Cheese (Swiss or cheddar)
- Sweet Onions
- Unsalted Butter
- Thick Slices of Rye or Sourdough Bread
Instructions
- Caramelize Onions: Heat a skillet over medium heat, add sliced onions and a tablespoon of butter. Sauté until translucent and fragrant, about 8 minutes.
- Prepare Patties: Form ground beef into patties slightly larger than your bread slices. Season generously with salt and pepper.
- Cook Patties: In another skillet over medium-high heat, cook patties for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned.
- Assemble Sandwiches: Layer one slice of bread with cooked patties, sautéed onions, and cheese; top with another slice of bread.
- Grill Melts: Melt more butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Grill each sandwich until golden brown and cheese melts, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Serve: Cut sandwiches in half and serve hot with pickles or fries.
Notes
- Customize your patty melt by swapping cheeses or adding jalapeños for a spicy twist.
- For extra flavor, season your beef with garlic powder or onion powder before cooking.
