Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 4 slices Swiss or cheddar cheese
- 4 slices rye bread
- 2 tbsp butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Secret Sauce: ¼ cup mayonnaise, 1 tbsp ketchup, 1 tbsp mustard, ½ tsp garlic powder, and 1 tsp pickle relish
Instructions
- Prepare the onions: In a skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tbsp of butter and add sliced onions. Cook until deeply caramelized, about 10-15 minutes.
- Cook the patties: Shape ground beef into two patties, season with salt and pepper, and cook in a hot skillet for 3-4 minutes on each side or until desired doneness.
- Assemble the melt: Place a slice of cheese on each slice of bread. Add a cooked patty, top with caramelized onions, and spread a generous amount of the secret sauce on the other slice.
- Grill the sandwich: Melt remaining butter in a skillet, then grill each sandwich until bread is golden and cheese is melted, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Serve: Cut in half and enjoy with extra sauce if desired.
Notes
- Rye bread adds a classic flavor, but sourdough or multigrain can be used.
- Customize the secret sauce to taste by adjusting ketchup or mustard levels.
- For added flavor, you can mix Worcestershire sauce into the beef patties.
