Papa's Patty Melt Recipe

Preparation Instructions

1. 1

   Cook the Onions

   Slice the onion thinly. In a skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Cook until the onions are caramelized, stirring occasionally, about 15-20 minutes. Set aside.

2. 2

   Form the Patties

   In a bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties.

3. 3

   Cook the Patties

   In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of butter and increase the heat to medium-high. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired doneness. During the last minute of cooking, place two slices of Swiss cheese on each patty to melt.

4. 4

   Toast the Bread

   While the patties are cooking, spread butter on one side of each slice of Texas toast. In a separate skillet, toast the bread butter-side down until golden brown.

5. 5

   Assemble the Patty Melt

   On the unbuttered side of two slices of toasted Texas toast, spread a generous amount of Daddy Mac's secret sauce. Place a cheesy patty on top, followed by the caramelized onions and pickles. Top with another slice of toast, buttered side up.

6. 6

   Grill the Sandwich

   In the skillet, grill the sandwich on medium heat, pressing down slightly with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 3-4 minutes on each side.

7. 7

   Serve

   Remove from the skillet, cut in half, and serve hot with additional pickles on the side.
