Patty Melt Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef Patty

    In a bowl, mix the ground beef with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Form the mixture into one large patty or two smaller patties based on your preference.

  2. 2

    Cook the Onion

    In a skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the sliced onions and cook until they are caramelized, about 10-15 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.

  3. 3

    Cook the Patty

    In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of butter. Cook the beef patty over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired doneness.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Patty Melt

    Place the cooked patty on a slice of rye bread. Top with caramelized onions and a slice of Swiss cheese. Top with another slice of rye bread.

  5. 5

    Grill the Sandwich

    In the same skillet, melt the remaining butter. Grill the sandwich on both sides until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 3-4 minutes per side.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove from skillet, slice in half if desired, and serve hot.
