Patty Melts

Recipe Added:  8/13/2012
1 stick butter
1 onion, halved, sliced
1 1/2 pound ground beef
salt and pepper, to taste
5 dashes Worcestershire sauce
8 slices Swiss cheese
8 slices Rye bread
In a medium skillet, melt 2 Tbsp of butter over medium-low heat. Throw in the sliced onions and cook slowly for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are golden brown and soft. In a medium bowl, mix together the ground beef, salt & pepper, and Worcestershire. Form into 4 patties. Melt 2 Tbsp butter in a separate skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties on both sides until totally done in the middle.

Assemble patty melts this way: Slice of bread, slice of cheese, hamburger patty, 1/4 of the cooked onions, another slice of cheese, and another slice of bread. On a clean griddle or in a skillet, melt 2 Tbsp butter and grill the sandwiches over medium heat until golden brown. Remove the sandwiches and add the remaining 2 Tbsp of butter to the skillet. Turn the sandwiches to the skillet, flipping them to the other side. Cook until golden brown and crisp, and until cheese is melted.
