Description
Delicious and comforting patty melt recipe perfect for cozy nights.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 slices of Swiss cheese
- 4 slices of rye bread
- 4 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil and sliced onions, cooking until they are caramelized, about 10-15 minutes. Stir in Worcestershire sauce and set aside.
- In a bowl, combine ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Form the mixture into 4 equal patties.
- In the same skillet, cook the patties over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of Swiss cheese on each patty to melt.
- While the patties are cooking, spread butter on one side of each slice of rye bread. Once the patties are done, remove them from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, place two slices of rye bread, buttered side down. Top each with a patty, some caramelized onions, and another slice of rye bread, buttered side up. Cook until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side, pressing down gently with a spatula.
- Remove from the skillet, slice in half, and serve hot.
Notes
- For a spicy kick, add sliced jalapeños to the patty or mix in some hot sauce with the ground beef.
- For a vegetarian option, substitute the beef with a black bean patty or a portobello mushroom cap, and use your favorite cheese.
