If you’re craving a classic comfort food, this Patty Melt is just what you need! A delicious blend of juicy beef, melted cheese, and caramelized onions, all sandwiched between two perfectly toasted slices of bread. It’s simple to make and packed with flavor!
Ingredients 📝
- 1 lb ground beef (80% lean)
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 slices of rye bread (or any bread you prefer)
- 4 slices Swiss cheese (or your favorite cheese)
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp butter, divided
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions 📌
- Prepare the Beef Patties: In a bowl, combine the ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Form the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties.
- Cook the Onions: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they become golden brown and caramelized (about 10-15 minutes). Once done, set them aside.
- Cook the Patties: In the same skillet, add the beef patties. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side until they reach your desired doneness. Place a slice of Swiss cheese on top of each patty in the last minute of cooking to melt.
- Toast the Bread: In a separate pan, butter each slice of bread and toast until golden brown on both sides.
- Assemble the Patty Melts: Once everything is cooked, layer the caramelized onions on the bottom slice of each toasted bread. Place the cheese-covered patty on top, then finish with another slice of bread to create a sandwich.
- Grill the Patty Melt: Return the sandwich to the skillet and cook each side for 2-3 minutes, or until the bread is golden and crispy, and the cheese is fully melted.
