Method

Patty Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

    In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well until seasoned evenly. Form the mixture into two equal patties.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a little oil. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they reach the desired doneness.

Grilled Onions

  1. 3

    Slice the Onion

    Peel and slice the onion into thin rings.

  2. 4

    Cook the Onions

    In a separate skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are caramelized and golden brown, about 10-15 minutes.

Toast Preparation

  1. 5

    Butter the Bread

    Spread butter on one side of each slice of Texas toast.

  2. 6

    Assemble the Patty Melt

    In the same skillet used for the patties, place one slice of Texas toast, butter side down. Add a cooked patty on top, followed by 2 slices of American cheese and a generous portion of grilled onions.

  3. 7

    Grill the Sandwich

    Top with another slice of Texas toast, butter side up. Grill on medium heat until the bottom is golden brown, about 3-4 minutes, then carefully flip and grill the other side until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden.

Serving
