Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Finely chop the onion and slice the mushrooms if using.

  2. 2

    Cook the Beef

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  3. 3

    Sauté Onions and Mushrooms

    In the same skillet, add a little more oil if necessary, and sauté the chopped onions (and mushrooms if using) until they are soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Patty Melt

    On one slice of marble rye, layer half of the cooked beef, half of the sautéed onions (and mushrooms), and one slice of swiss cheese. Top with another slice of marble rye.

  5. 5

    Grill the Sandwich

    Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in the skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwich on the skillet and grill until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Flip the sandwich, add the remaining butter, and grill the other side until golden brown and the cheese has melted.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove from the skillet, slice in half, and serve hot.
