Classic Patty Melt Recipe: The Ultimate Comfort Sandwich! 🍔🧀


 

1️⃣ Prepare the Beef Patties

  • In a large bowl, mix together:
    ✅ Ground beef
    ✅ Worcestershire sauce
    ✅ Garlic powder, salt, and black pepper
  • Form the mixture into 4 large, thin oval-shaped patties (shaped to fit the bread).

2️⃣ Caramelize the Onions

  • In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
  • Add sliced onions, stirring occasionally, and cook until soft and caramelized (about 15 minutes).
  • Remove onions from the skillet and set aside.

3️⃣ Cook the Patties

  • In the same skillet, cook the beef patties over medium-high heat for 3–4 minutes per side, until browned and cooked through.
  • Remove patties and set aside.

4️⃣ Assemble the Patty Melts

  • Butter one side of each slice of bread.
  • Place 4 slices (buttered-side down) on a clean surface.
  • Layer in this order:
    ✅ 1 slice of Swiss cheese
    ✅ Beef patty
    ✅ Caramelized onions
    ✅ 1 slice of cheddar cheese
    ✅ Top with another slice of bread (buttered-side up!)

5️⃣ Grill to Golden Perfection

  • Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
  • Cook each sandwich for 3–4 minutes per side, pressing down slightly with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
