lb. Ground Beef

Rye Bread

Muenster Cheese

Cheddar Cheese

tsp Mustard (divided)

Worcestershire sauce (divided)

tbsp Butter

Salt and Pepper (each)

Onion (sliced thin)

Worcestershire Sauce

tsp Red Wine Vinegar

tbsp Mayonnaise

tsp Dill Pickle Relish

tbsp Ketchup

tsp Mustard

First, make the burger sauce. In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, mustard, relish and ketchup. Cover and place in the fridge for later.

Add sliced onion, 2 tablespoons butter, red wine vinegar and worcestershire sauce to a skillet over medium-low heat. Let cook for about 20 minutes with lid on stirring occasionally. When, done transfer onions to a plate.

In the meantime, form two hamburger patties and season them with salt and pepper on both sides. Drizzle a little worcestershire sauce on the patties and rub mustard on both sides of the patties.

Heat your cast iron skillet or skillet to medium-high heat. Place burger patties on the skillet and cook for about 4 minutes. Flip burgers over and cook for another 3-4 minutes for a medium-well done burger.

Butter four pieces of rye bread and place two of the slices butter side down in the same skillet you cooked the onions. Spread burger sauce on the top of all four slices of bread(opposite side of the butter). Then, add a slice of cheddar cheese to the two slices in the skillet. Top cheddar with grilled onions then top onions with a burger patty. Place a slice of muenster cheese on top of the burger patty and then top with the slice of rye bread burger sauce down.

Turn skillet up to medium-high heat and cook until bottom rye is nice and golden. Then, carefully flip sandwich over and grill the other side until golden and cheeses are nice and melted.

Classic Patty Melt Recipe

rye bread

butter, softened

beef

black pepper

sea salt

onion powder

mayonnaise

ketchup

bacon bits

sweet relish

white sugar

cheddar cheese

Provolone cheese

Thoroughly butter one side of each slice of bread. Set aside.

Combine the ground beef, pepper, salt, and onion powder in a bowl and mix until the spices are evenly distributed.

Shape the mixture into three separate patties to match the shape of the bread.

Preheat a nonstick skillet on the stove over medium-high heat.

Place the patties in the skillet and cook for approximately 2-3 minutes. Then, flip them carefully to avoid breaking, and cook them for another 2-3 minutes on the other side.

Reduce to low heat and cook for approximately 5 more minutes. The centers should be uniformly brown with no pink remaining.

Use a digital thermometer to check the internal temperature of each patty. Each one should be 160 degrees Fahrenheit (71°C).

While the patties cook, mix the mayo, ketchup, bacon bits, relish, and sugar in a small bowl. Stir until well-blended, and set aside.

When the patties are ready, heat a second skillet on medium-low heat, and add one slice of bread (butter-side down) - or as many will fit.

Top the bread with two slices of cheddar cheese, followed by a patty and two slices of Provolone.

Spread the sauce over the unbuttered side of the second bread slice. Then, place that piece of bread (sauce-side down) on top of the last slice of cheese.

Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until the bread is lightly toasted.

Repeat steps 6, 7, and 8 until all three patty melts are ready.

Then, remove from heat, serve, and enjoy.
