Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
- 4 slices rye bread
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 1 medium yellow onion, sliced
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
Instructions
- Prepare the Secret Sauce: In a bowl, mix together ketchup, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder until smooth. Adjust seasoning if needed.
- Sauté the Onions: Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook until soft and caramelized, about 10 minutes.
- Cook the Beef Patties: Shape ground beef into patties seasoned with salt and pepper. Cook on medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes on each side until browned.
- Melt the Cheese: During the last minute of cooking each patty, place Swiss cheese on top and cover with a lid to help it melt.
- Assemble the Patty Melts: Butter one side of each slice of rye bread. Layer sautéed onions on one slice, add the cheesy patty, then top with another slice (buttered side out).
- Grill Until Golden: Grill each sandwich in the same pan over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes per side until crispy and golden brown.
- Serve: Enjoy your patty melt with fries or chips for a delightful meal!
