Ingredients

Scale

  • 4 slices Swiss cheese
  • 1 cup caramelized onions (approx. 2 medium onions)
  • 4 tbsp butter (for grilling)
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp yellow mustard

Instructions

  1. Caramelize Onions: Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add finely chopped onions and cook until golden brown, about 15-20 minutes.
  2. Mix Secret Sauce: In a bowl, mix ketchup, mayonnaise, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce until smooth; set aside.
  3. Cook Beef Patties: Form ground beef into four patties (about 1 inch thick), season with salt and pepper, then cook on high heat for 4-5 minutes per side until browned and cooked through.
  4. Assemble Patty Melt: Butter one side of each slice of sourdough bread. On the unbuttered side, layer a beef patty, caramelized onions, and Swiss cheese. Top with another slice of bread.
  5. Grill Sandwiches: Place sandwiches in a skillet over medium heat and grill until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes each side.
