Description
A delicious and comforting classic patty melt recipe featuring juicy beef patties, caramelized onions, and melted Swiss cheese on rye bread.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 slices of rye bread
- 4 slices of Swiss cheese
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons butter, divided
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined, then form into two equal patties.
- In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of butter and the sliced onions. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the onions are caramelized, about 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat.
- To assemble the patty melts, place a slice of rye bread on a clean surface. Top with a slice of Swiss cheese, a cooked patty, a generous portion of caramelized onions, and another slice of Swiss cheese. Top with another slice of rye bread.
- In the skillet, melt the remaining tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Carefully place the assembled sandwich in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Remove from the skillet, slice in half, and serve hot.
Notes
- For a spicy kick, add sliced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the patty mixture.
- Try using different types of cheese, such as cheddar or pepper jack, for a unique flavor twist.
