Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 4 slices of rye bread
- 4 slices of Swiss cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat and add the sliced onions. Cook until caramelized, about 10-15 minutes.
- While the onions are cooking, form the ground beef into two patties and season with salt and pepper.
- In another skillet, cook the beef patties over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked to your desired doneness.
- Once the patties are cooked, place a slice of Swiss cheese on each patty and cover until the cheese is melted.
- In the same skillet used for the onions, add the remaining butter and toast the rye bread on both sides until golden brown.
- Assemble the patty melt by placing a patty with melted cheese on a slice of toasted bread, topping it with caramelized onions, and then adding another slice of bread on top.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a dash of Worcestershire sauce to the beef before cooking.
- Feel free to use different types of cheese if desired.
- Serve with pickles or a side salad for a complete meal.
