How to Make the Irresistible Classic Comfort Patty Melt
  1. Thinly slice your onions and cook them in butter over medium heat for 15-20 minutes until they become golden brown and sweet.
  2. Take the ground beef and divide it into equal portions. Shape each into patties that are slightly larger than the slices of bread.
  3. In a skillet, heat some butter over medium-high heat. Season your patties with salt and pepper before placing them in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side until browned.
  4. Place a cooked patty on a slice of rye bread, top it with caramelized onions and a slice of Swiss cheese, and finish with another slice of bread.
  5. In the same skillet, add more butter and grill your sandwiches for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden and crispy.
  6. Slice your sandwiches diagonally and serve them hot with a side of fries or salad.

Notes

Optional: Serve with crispy onion rings for extra crunch.
