Cooking Instructions

Prepare the Onions

Slice the medium onion thinly. In a skillet, sauté the onion with a little butter over medium heat until they are caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Cook the Beef Patty

Form the ground beef into a patty. Season both sides with salt and pepper. In the same skillet, increase the heat to medium-high and cook the patty for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.

Assemble the Patty Melt

On one slice of dark rye bread, spread 1 tablespoon of 1000 Island dressing. Place the cooked patty on top, followed by the caramelized onions and American cheese. Top with the second slice of rye bread.

Toast the Sandwich

In the skillet, add butter and place the assembled sandwich in the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is toasted and the cheese is melted.

Serve

Remove the patty melt from the skillet, slice in half, and serve hot with additional 1000 Island dressing on the side if desired.
