Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/2 cup finely chopped yellow onion
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 8 slices rye bread
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese
- Butter for grilling
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix ground beef with chopped onion, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Form into 4 equal patties.
- Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the remaining 1/4 cup of chopped onion and cook until caramelized, about 10-15 minutes. Set aside.
- Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a separate skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through.
- Butter one side of each slice of bread.
- Assemble the sandwiches: place a patty on one slice of bread (buttered side down), top with caramelized onions, Swiss cheese, and Cheddar cheese. Place another slice of bread on top (buttered side up).
- Grill the sandwiches in a clean skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes per side, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Serve your irresistible patty melt comfort immediately.
Notes
- For an even richer flavor, use a combination of cheeses like Gruyere or Provolone.
- Add a tablespoon of your favorite mustard to the beef mixture for an extra kick.
- Ensure your onions are truly caramelized for the best sweetness.
