Ingredients:
– 1 lb ground beef (80/20 recommended)
– 8 slices Swiss cheese
– 1 onion, thinly sliced
– Bread (such as rye or sourdough)
– Butter (for grilling)
– Secret sauce (mayonnaise, ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce mixed together)
Directions:
Start by heating a little oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season your ground beef with salt and pepper, then form it into patties. Cook these patties until they are browned and perfectly cooked through.
In the same skillet, sauté the sliced onion until they become beautifully caramelized.
Next, let’s make that secret sauce. Just mix together some mayonnaise, ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce in a bowl.
Now, it’s time to assemble the patty melts. Take a slice of bread, place a beef patty on it, and then top it with Swiss cheese and those caramelized onions. Spread some of your secret sauce on another slice of bread.
Sandwich them together and don’t forget to butter the outside of the bread. Place the sandwiches back into the skillet and grill until they’re golden brown and the cheese is melted nicely. Make sure to flip them carefully to cook the other side.
Serve them hot and enjoy your delicious Patty Melts with Secret Sauce!
