Scale
- 2 slices of bread (rye, sourdough, or whole grain)
- 1/2 pound ground beef (or lean ground turkey)
- 2 slices of American or Swiss cheese
- 1 small onion, sliced
- Butter (unsalted)

Instructions
- Prep your ingredients. Slice your onions and gather your cheese. Ground your beef into a ball.
- Caramelize the onions. In a skillet over medium heat, melt a tablespoon of butter and add your sliced onions.
- Shape the patties. Shape your ground beef into a patty slightly larger than your bread, seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Cook the beef patties. In the same skillet, add butter and cook your patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side.
- Assemble your patty melts. Place buttered bread in the skillet and layer with patty, cheese, and onions.
- Grill to perfection. Grill until golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Slice and serve. Take out of the pan, let it rest, and slice diagonally.
