Patty Melt Recipe

Patty Melt Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Onions

   Slice the onion thinly and sauté in a skillet over medium heat with a little butter until they are caramelized and golden brown, about 10-15 minutes.

2. 2

   Cook the Beef Patty

   In a bowl, mix the ground beef with salt and pepper. Form into two equal patties. In the same skillet, increase the heat to medium-high and cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they are cooked to your desired doneness.

3. 3

   Assemble the Patty Melt

   Spread Russian dressing on one side of each slice of rye bread. On the un-sauced side, place a slice of Swiss cheese, then the cooked beef patty, followed by the sautéed onions and another slice of Swiss cheese. Top with another slice of bread, dressing side down.

4. 4

   Grill the Sandwich

   In the same skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Place the assembled sandwich in the skillet. Cook until the bread is golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Add more butter as needed.

5. 5

   Serve

   Once both sides are golden and the cheese has melted, remove from heat, slice in half, and serve immediately.
