Description

This classic Patty Melt is the ultimate comfort sandwich — juicy, seasoned beef patties layered with sweet caramelized onions and melty Swiss cheese, all grilled between buttery, golden slices of sourdough bread. It’s rich, flavorful, and utterly satisfying.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 tablespoons salted butter, softened
  • 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 pound 80/20 ground beef
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 8 slices sourdough bread
  • 8 slices Swiss cheese
  • 1 1/2 cups caramelized onions

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce until just combined. Form into 4 thin, wide patties roughly the shape of your bread slices.
  2. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat and cook the patties for 3–4 minutes per side, until browned and cooked through. Set aside on a plate and cover to keep warm.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the softened butter and mayonnaise. Spread a thin layer on one side of each bread slice.
  4. Reduce heat to medium. Place 4 slices of bread, butter-side down, on the skillet. Top each with a slice of Swiss cheese, a beef patty, caramelized onions, another slice of Swiss cheese, and a top slice of bread (butter-side up).
  5. Grill each sandwich for 3–4 minutes per side, pressing lightly with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted.
  6. Slice in half and serve hot with fries, pickles, or your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Use freshly caramelized onions for the best flavor — slow-cook them in butter for 30–40 minutes until golden and sweet.
  • Rye bread can be used instead of sourdough for a traditional twist.
  • To make it extra melty, cover the skillet with a lid for a minute while toasting the second side.
