Caramelized Onions

Sandwich Components

Method

Caramelized Onions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Onions

    Peel and slice the onions thinly.

  2. 2

    Cook the Onions

    In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the sliced onions, salt, and sugar. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 20-25 minutes until the onions are golden brown and caramelized.

Assembling the Patty Melt

  1. 3

    Prepare the Beef Patty

    In a bowl, combine the ground beef, black pepper, and garlic powder. Form into two equal patties.

  2. 4

    Cook the Beef Patties

    In the same skillet used for the onions, add olive oil and heat over medium-high. Cook the beef patties for about 4 minutes on each side or until they reach the desired doneness.

  3. 5

    Assemble the Sandwich

    On two slices of marbled rye bread, spread 2 tbs of Russian dressing on each. Place one Swiss cheese slice on each, followed by a beef patty and some caramelized onions. Top with another slice of Swiss cheese and finish with another slice of bread.

  4. 6

    Grill the Sandwich

    In the skillet, add a bit more olive oil if needed and grill the assembled sandwiches over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
