PATTY MELTS WITH SECRET SAUCE


 

Ingredients:

FOR THE PATTY MELTS:

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 slices of rye or sourdough bread
  • 8 slices of Swiss or cheddar cheese
  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced
  • Butter or oil for cooking

FOR THE SECRET SAUCE:

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

PREPARE THE SECRET SAUCE:

  • In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, ketchup, sweet pickle relish, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Set aside.

2. COOK THE ONIONS:

  • Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a knob of butter or a drizzle of oil. Add the thinly sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until caramelized and golden brown, about 15-20 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

3. MAKE THE BEEF PATTIES:

  • Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty. Season both sides of the patties with salt and pepper.

4. COOK THE BEEF PATTIES:

  • Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the beef patties and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheese on top of each patty and let it melt.

5. ASSEMBLE THE PATTY MELTS:

    • To assemble the sandwiches, spread a generous amount of the secret sauce on one side of each slice of bread. Place a slice of cheese on the other side of each bread slice.
    • Top 4 slices of bread with a cooked beef patty and a spoonful of caramelized onions. Place the remaining bread slices on top, cheese side down, to form sandwiches.

6. COOK THE PATTY MELTS:

    • Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Add a knob of butter or a drizzle of oil to the skillet. Place the assembled sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted.

7. SERVE THE PATTY MELTS:

    • Once cooked, remove the patty melts from the skillet and let them cool for a minute or two. Cut each sandwich in half diagonally and serve immediately with extra secret sauce on the side for dipping, if desired.
