Description
Enjoy a delicious Irresistible Patty Melt featuring a juicy beef patty, caramelized onions, and a creamy secret sauce, all nestled between golden toasted bread.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
- 2 large slices rye or sourdough bread
- 2 slices Swiss or cheddar cheese
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 2 tbsp butter
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- Dash of hot sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Garlic powder (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Secret Sauce: In a bowl, mix together mayonnaise, ketchup, Dijon mustard, and hot sauce. Adjust to taste and set aside.
- Shape the Patties: Combine ground beef with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Shape into two equal patties, slightly larger than your bread.
- Caramelize the Onions: In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter and add the sliced onion, stirring until golden—about 15 minutes.
- Cook the Burgers: Increase heat and add patties, cooking for 3-4 minutes per side. Add cheese on top for the last minute to melt.
- Toast the Bread: Butter one side of each slice of bread and toast, buttered side down, until gold and crunchy.
- Assemble the Patty Melt: Spread secret sauce on the unbuttered side, layer with the burger, caramelized onions, and top with another slice of bread, sauce side down.
- Grill the Sandwich: Grill on both sides until crispy and golden brown—approximately 2-3 minutes each side.
- Serve with love: Slice in half and serve with crispy fries or a fresh salad.
Notes
Feel free to customize with vegetables or different cheese. Pair with your favorite dipping sauce.
