Frisco Melt Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Onions

    In a skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the sliced onion and sauté until they are translucent and caramelized, about 8-10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  2. 2

    Cook the Beef

    In the same skillet, add the ground beef. Cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary. Season with salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Melt

    On one slice of sourdough bread, spread 2 tablespoons of Frisco sauce. Layer half of the cooked beef, followed by a slice of Swiss cheese, the caramelized onions, and then another slice of Swiss cheese. Spread another 2 tablespoons of Frisco sauce on the second slice of bread and place it on top.

  4. 4

    Grill the Sandwich

    In the skillet, melt the remaining tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Carefully place the assembled sandwich in the skillet. Grill for 3-4 minutes on each side until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Press down gently with a spatula for even grilling.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the sandwich from the skillet, cut in half, and serve hot with additional Frisco sauce on the side if desired.
