Patty Melt with Secret Sauce

Print Recipe

Seasoned beef patties, caramelized onions and two cheeses on rye spread with a homemade burger sauce, griddled in butter until crisp.

Ingredients

Scale

For the patties

  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons butter, divided
  • 8 slices rye bread
  • 4 slices Swiss cheese
  • 4 slices American cheese

For the sauce

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon pickle relish

Instructions

  1. Make the sauce: stir together the mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder and pickle relish.
  2. In a bowl, mix the ground beef with the salt, pepper and Worcestershire sauce. Divide into 4 patties.
  3. Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until caramelized, about 10 minutes. Set aside.
  4. Cook the patties in the same skillet for 3-4 minutes per side, until browned and cooked through (160°F in the center).
  5. Spread about 1 tablespoon of sauce over the slices of rye bread for each sandwich.
  6. On 4 slices, layer the Swiss cheese, a patty, the caramelized onions and the American cheese. Top with the remaining bread and press down gently.
  7. Melt the remaining butter in the skillet and cook the sandwiches for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden and crisp.
  8. Cut in half and serve right away.

Notes

For a crisper crust, spread the outside of the bread with mayonnaise instead of cooking it in butter. A dash of hot sauce in the sauce adds a little kick.
