Quick and Delicious Cheesy Burger Patties Cooked in 30 Minutes

In the culinary world of comfort food, George Motz's Cheesy Patty Melt stands out as a classic favourite. This delicious sandwich is a must-try for any food enthusiast.

Ingredients:

  1. Four slices of 3/4 inch thick rye bread
  2. One large yellow onion, thinly sliced (or Sweet Vidalia onions)
  3. One tablespoon of vegetable oil
  4. Two tablespoons of unsalted butter
  5. Four slices of Swiss cheese (or substitute with Gruyère, provolone, sharp cheddar, or pepper jack)
  6. An 80/20 ground beef blend
  7. 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt
  8. 1/4 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper
  9. A dash of Worcestershire sauce (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Begin by caramelising the onions. Heat the vegetable oil in a pan over medium-low heat. Add the sliced onions, season with salt and pepper, and stir frequently. If the onions start drying out, add a teaspoon of water to deglaze the pan.
  2. As the onions caramelise, prepare the beef patties. Season the ground beef with salt, pepper, and a dash of Worcestershire sauce if desired. Form four equal-sized patties.
  3. To make Cheesy Patty Melts extra crispy, butter both sides of the bread and toast them in the pan before assembling, then toast again after building the sandwich.
  4. Once the onions are caramelised and the bread is toasted, it's time to assemble. Place a beef patty on each slice of toasted bread, top with a layer of caramelised onions, and then a slice of cheese.
  5. Top with another slice of toasted bread and repeat the process for the remaining sandwiches.
  6. Heat a pan over medium-low heat, place the sandwiches in the pan, and toast until the cheese is melted and the bread is crispy.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve your Cheesy Patty Melts with a big crunchy dill pickle spear, salt-and-vinegar chips, creamy tomato soup, or crispy tater tots dipped in ranch.

Cooking Ahead:

You can make Cheesy Patty Melts ahead for a crowd by cooking the patties and onions in advance, then refrigerating them separately. When ready to serve, just assemble and toast.

Storing Cheesy Patty Melts:

Let the Cheesy Patty Melts cool completely, wrap tightly in foil, and refrigerate for up to 2 days. To reheat, toast them in a dry skillet over medium-low until the cheese gets gooey again.
