Description
Delicious Patty Melt Sandwiches Recipe
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 8 slices Swiss cheese
- 8 slices rye bread (or your favorite sandwich bread)
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 medium onions (thinly sliced)
- 4 tablespoons butter (divided)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced onions and cook slowly for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they turn a deep golden brown color. Adjust the heat to medium-low as needed to prevent burning. Once caramelized, transfer the onions to a plate and wipe the skillet clean.
- Season the ground beef with salt and pepper to taste. Shape the beef into 4 equal patties approximately the size of your bread slices.
- Place the patties in the skillet over medium-high heat and cook for about 3 minutes per side until browned and cooked through. If needed, cook them in batches to avoid overcrowding. Transfer the cooked patties to a plate and wipe the skillet clean again.
- Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet and melt it over medium heat. Place 4 slices of bread into the skillet and toast until golden brown. Remove 2 slices and flip the remaining two slices on the skillet.
- On the sliced bread still in the skillet, place a slice of Swiss cheese, then a cooked patty, followed by caramelized onions and another slice of cheese. Spread one tablespoon of mayonnaise on the untoasted sides of the remaining 2 bread slices and place the mayo side down over the assembled sandwiches.
- Turn the heat down to medium-low and cook the sandwiches for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, flipping halfway through, until the bread is toasted to a golden crisp and the cheese is melted.
- Remove the finished sandwiches from the skillet and repeat the toasting and assembling process with the remaining bread, patties, onions, and cheese.
- Slice the sandwiches in half and serve immediately, ideally with chips or French fries for a classic pairing.
