Patty Melt Recipe

Patty Melt Instructions

1. 1

   Caramelize the Onions

   In a skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add sliced onions, and cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and caramelized, about 15-20 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and set aside.

2. 2

   Prepare the Beef Patty

   In a bowl, season the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Form into two equal patties, about 1/2 inch thick.

3. 3

   Cook the Patties

   In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of butter. Cook the patties over medium-high heat for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Top each patty with 2 slices of cheddar cheese during the last minute of cooking to melt.

4. 4

   Prepare the Secret Sauce

   In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Adjust to taste.

5. 5

   Assemble the Patty Melt

   Spread the secret sauce on one side of each slice of bread. Place a cooked patty on top of the sauce on two slices of bread, followed by caramelized onions. Top with the remaining slices of bread, sauce side down.

6. 6

   Griddle the Sandwiches

   In the skillet, add a little more butter if needed. Grill the sandwiches over medium heat for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy.

7. 7

   Serve

   Remove from the skillet, cut in half, and serve hot with additional secret sauce if desired.
