1
Prepare the Burger Patty
In a bowl, mix the ground beef with salt and black pepper until just combined. Form into a patty approximately 1/2 inch thick.
2
Cook the Burger Patty
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add cooking oil. Once hot, add the patty and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until desired doneness is achieved.

3
Prepare the Onion
While the burger is cooking, slice the onion into thin rings.
4
Sauté the Onions
In another skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are soft and caramelized.

5
Melt the Cheese
Once the burger is cooked, place the Swiss cheese slices on top of the patty and allow them to melt for about 1 minute.
6
Assemble the Sandwich
On one slice of rye bread, place the cheeseburger patty, followed by the sautéed onions. Top with the second slice of rye bread.

7
Grill the Patty Melt
In the same skillet used for the burger, add a little more butter if needed. Place the assembled patty melt in the skillet and grill over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes on each side until the bread is golden brown.
