Swiss Cheese Patty Melt
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1/2 pound ground beef
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 4 slices of rye bread
- 4 slices of Swiss cheese
- 1/2 onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix 1/2 pound of ground beef with 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder. Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Remove the patties from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of butter and sauté 1/2 thinly sliced onion until caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the onions from the skillet and set aside.
- Spread the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter on one side of each slice of rye bread. Place two slices of bread, buttered side down, in the skillet. Top each slice with a slice of Swiss cheese, a cooked beef patty, caramelized onions, and another slice of Swiss cheese. Place the remaining bread slices on top, buttered side up.
- Cook the sandwiches for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Slice the sandwiches in half and serve hot. Enjoy your Swiss Cheese Patty Melt!
