Patty Melts Dish Guide

Serves 2

Five Ingredients

1 lb ground beef

1 large white onion

4 slices rye bread

2 T whole grain mustard

8 slices Swiss cheese

From the Pantry

2-3 T olive oil

Form the ground beef into two half-pound patties that are roughly the size and shape of your bread slices. Thinly slice the onion into rounds and break apart.

Heat a skillet over medium high heat and place in the two patties. Season with salt and pepper and cook for 4-5 minutes a side or until cooked through to your liking. Set aside and add onions to the skillet. Sautee for 4-5 minutes in the rendered beef fat and season with salt and pepper. Remove from the skillet once softened and beginning to brown.

Lay down a slice of bread and add two slices of cheese followed by half the onions, a beef patty, two more slices of cheese, and smear 1 tablespoon of mustard on the top slice of bread. Add 1-2 T olive oil to the skillet as needed and turn heat to medium low. Lay in the patty melt and cook for 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy on both sides and cheese has melted.

Serve immediately with a side of tots, fries, or a salad.
