1-How to Prepare the Perfect Patty Melts: Ready to make patty melts that wow your family? It’s easier than you think, and I’ll walk you through it like we’re chatting in the kitchen. Start by pulling together your ingredients slice that onion, measure the ground beef, and set out your bread and cheese for a smooth ride.

2-First, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium skillet over medium-low heat and cook the sliced onions slowly for 20 to 25 minutes until they turn golden brown and soft. This step builds that sweet, savory base that makes patty melts irresistible. While the onions work their magic, mix the 680 grams of ground beef with salt, pepper, and 5 dashes of Worcestershire sauce in a bowl, then shape it into 4 patties.

3-Cooking the Patties: Next, melt another 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium heat and cook the patties on both sides until they’re done just right aim for about 4-5 minutes per side for juicy results. Don’t press them down; that keeps the meat tender and full of flavor, as pressing can dry it out.

4-Assembling and Grilling: Now for the fun part: assemble each patty melt by stacking a slice of bread, a slice of Swiss cheese, a cooked patty, a quarter of those caramelized onions, another slice of cheese, and top with another slice of bread. On a griddle or skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter and grill the sandwiches until the bread is golden brown. Flip them after adding the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet, and keep going until both sides are crispy and the cheese melts perfectly about 3-4 minutes per side.

5-Serve them sliced in half right away for the best gooey experience. Total prep time is around 10 minutes, with cooking taking about 25 minutes, so you’re looking at 35 minutes total.
