Perfect Patty Melt Recipe
A crispy, cheesy sandwich with a juicy beef patty, caramelized onions, and melted cheese, served on toasted rye bread.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 2 slices of rye bread
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced
- 4 slices Swiss or American cheese
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper

Instructions
- Heat 1 tbsp of butter in a skillet over medium heat and add the sliced onions. Cook until caramelized, about 10 minutes.
- In a bowl, mix ground beef with Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Form into two patties.
- In the same skillet, cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes per side until browned and cooked through.
- Remove the patties and wipe the skillet clean.
- Assemble the sandwich: Place a slice of cheese on a slice of rye bread, followed by a beef patty, caramelized onions, another slice of cheese, and top with another slice of rye bread.
- Spread butter on the outside of the bread and grill the sandwich on medium-low heat until golden brown and crispy, about 3 minutes per side.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
