Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
- 2 large sweet onions
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter (for cooking and toasting)
- 4 slices rye bread
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Caramelize the Onions: Slice onions into thin rings. In a skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tbsp butter and add onions. Cook slowly for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally until golden brown.
- Prepare the Beef: In a bowl, combine ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix gently to maintain juiciness.
- Form Patties: Shape the seasoned beef into two patties slightly larger than the bread.
- Cook Patties: Heat another skillet over medium-high heat with a little butter. Cook each patty for 4-5 minutes per side until desired doneness.
- Assemble Melts: In the same skillet, layer one slice of rye bread, a patty, caramelized onions, and Swiss cheese. Top with another slice of bread.
- Toast: Carefully flip the sandwich and toast both sides until golden brown (about 3-4 minutes each side).
