Yield 4 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 yellow onion, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons dry sherry wine
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 pounds ground chuck
2 teaspoons garlic salt
Freshly ground black pepper
8 slices marble rye
16 slices white American cheese
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
Yellow mustard, optional, for serving

Steps:

For the caramelized onions: Add the butter to a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Add the onions and cook, undisturbed, until the bottoms of the onions begin to caramelize, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir once, then cook for another 5 minutes, undisturbed, until golden. Deglaze with the sherry. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
For the patty melts: Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Form the meat into 4 balls with your hands. Season both sides with the garlic salt and some pepper. Smash to the desired size (matching up with the size of your bread). Griddle each side until crusty, very seared and about medium/medium rare in the interior (about 130 degrees F), 5 to 6 minutes a side. Thoroughly wipe clean the skillet and reduce the heat to medium low.
On each of 4 slices of rye, place 2 slices of cheese, then a patty, then some onions, then 2 more slices of cheese and finally another slice of rye. Butter both sides of each sandwich (crust to crust is a must) and griddle until the bread is slightly golden and the cheese is gooey, 2 to 3 minutes per side (dome with a metal bowl if necessary to ensure the cheese melts). Serve with your favorite yellow mustard if desired.

CLASSIC PATTY MELT

A quick, easy, and basic recipe for patty melts. I used Jewish rye bread but any bread will work as long as it's rye. I double the cheese but feel free to use 1 slice per patty melt.

¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons butter
1 large onion, sliced
6 teaspoons mayonnaise
6 slices rye bread

My husband often orders patty melts at restaurants, so I started fixing them at home. I added horseradish to give them more zip, and now he loves them my way. -Leah Zimmerman, Ephrata, Pennsylvania

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1 lb (500 g) ground chuck
1 lb (500 g) ground sirloin
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
12 slices rye bread
6 tablespoons (3 oz/90 g) unsalted butter, melted
2 sweet onions, thickly sliced
6 slices good-quality Swiss cheese such as Gruyère or Comté

Steps:

1. Prepare a charcoal or gas grill for direct grilling over high heat. Brush and oil the grill grate.
2. In a large bowl, using a spoon, not your hands, gently mix together the chuck and sirloin. Run your hands under cold water and divide the mixture into 6 equal portions. Shape each portion into a patty about the size and shape of a slice of bread, being careful not to compact the meat too much. Season on both sides with salt and pepper. Make a depression in the center of each patty with your thumb. Refrigerate the patties until the grill is ready.
3. Brush both sides of each bread slice with the butter.
4. Place the patties, indent side up, and onion slices on the grill directly over the fire. Cook, turning once, until both the patties and the onions are nicely charred on both sides and the burgers are cooked to your liking, 4-5 minutes per side for medium. During the last 2 minutes of cooking, top each patty with a slice of cheese and put the bread slices along the edge of the grill, then cover the grill. Grill, turning the bread slices once, until the cheese is melted and the bread is lightly toasted.
5. Place each burger on a slice of toasted rye. Toss the onion slices to break up the rings, and divide evenly among the burgers. Top each burger with a second slice of toasted bread and serve at once.
