Ultimate Patty Melt with Secret Sauce

A delicious twist on the classic patty melt, loaded with flavor and a zesty secret sauce.

Ingredients

✅ 1 lb ground beef
✅ Salt and pepper to taste
✅ 1 large onion, thinly sliced
✅ 1 tbsp butter for caramelizing onions
✅ 8 slices rye or sourdough bread
✅ 4 slices Swiss cheese
✅ 1/4 cup mayonnaise
✅ 1 tbsp ketchup
✅ 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
✅ 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
✅ 1 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

✅ In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the sliced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until caramelized and golden brown, about 15 minutes.

✅ While the onions are cooking, season the ground beef with salt and pepper. Form into 4 equal patties.

✅ In a separate pan, cook the patties over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until desired doneness is reached.

✅ While the patties are cooking, prepare the secret sauce by mixing the mayonnaise, ketchup, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder in a small bowl. Set aside.

✅ Once the patties are cooked, place a slice of Swiss cheese on each patty and cover the pan to melt the cheese slightly.

✅ Lightly butter one side of each slice of bread. Assemble the sandwich by spreading the secret sauce on the unbuttered side of two slices. Top with a cheesy patty, followed by a generous helping of caramelized onions, and finish with another slice of bread, buttered side up.

✅ Grill the sandwiches in the skillet over medium heat, pressing down gently, until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.

✅ Slice in half and serve hot, with extra secret sauce on the side if desired.
