Description
A juicy twist on the classic grilled cheese these Grilled Cheese Patty Melts combine savory beef patties, caramelized onions, and gooey melted cheese between crispy, buttery bread slices.
Ingredients
1 lb ground beef
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp butter
1 small onion, thinly sliced
8 slices of bread (sourdough or rye)
8 slices American or cheddar cheese
2 tbsp butter (for grilling)
Instructions
1. In a bowl, mix ground beef, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Form into 4 thin patties.
2. In a skillet, melt 1 tbsp butter and sauté onions over medium heat until golden and caramelized. Remove and set aside.
3. Cook the beef patties in the same skillet for 3–4 minutes per side, until browned and cooked through.
4. Assemble each sandwich: bread slice, cheese, patty, onions, another slice of cheese, and top bread slice.
5. Spread butter on the outside of each sandwich.
6. Grill on a skillet over medium heat for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cheese is melted.
7. Slice and serve hot with pickles or fries.
Notes
Try using Swiss or provolone for a richer melt.
Add sautéed mushrooms for a diner-style upgrade.
Use rye bread for a classic patty melt flavor.
