Patty Melt Recipe

Patty Melt Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Onion

   Slice the onion into thin rings.

2. 2

   Cook the Onion

   In a skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the sliced onions and cook until they are caramelized and golden brown, about 10-15 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.

3. 3

   Form the Patties

   In a bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix until just combined and form into two equal patties.

4. 4

   Cook the Patties

   In the same skillet used for the onions, add the patties. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of Swiss cheese on each patty to melt.

5. 5

   Assemble the Patty Melt

   Butter one side of each slice of rye bread. Place one slice butter-side down in the skillet, add a patty with melted cheese, some caramelized onions, and then top with another slice of bread, butter-side up.

6. 6

   Grill the Sandwich

   Cook the sandwich for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Repeat with the second sandwich.

7. 7

   Serve

   Slice the patty melts in half and serve hot. Enjoy your delicious patty melt!
