Caramelized Onion Patty Melt
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons of butter
- 1 pound of ground beef
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
- 4 slices of rye bread
- 4 slices of Swiss cheese
- 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons of ketchup
Instructions
- In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 15-20 minutes or until the onions are golden brown and caramelized. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Divide the ground beef into 2 equal portions and shape them into patties. Season both sides of the patties with salt and black pepper.
- In the same skillet used for the onions, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat. Add the beef patties and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
- As the patties cook, spread mayonnaise on one side of each slice of rye bread. Place a slice of Swiss cheese on the non-mayonnaise side of each bread slice.
- Once the patties are cooked, transfer them to a plate and wipe the skillet clean. Place 2 slices of rye bread, mayonnaise side down, in the skillet. Top each slice with a cooked beef patty, a generous portion of caramelized onions, and a drizzle of ketchup. Place the remaining bread slices on top, mayonnaise side up.
- Cook the sandwiches for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, slice in half, and serve hot. Enjoy your delicious caramelized onion patty melt!
