Ingredients
For the patties
- 500 g (1lb) ground beef or beef mince
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
For the caramelized onions
- 2 onion thinly sliced
- 250 g (½lb) mushrooms sliced
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1-2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (optional)
For the melts
- 8 lices bread
- 2 cups cheese I used Gruyère and sharp cheddar, grated
- butter
Instructions
- Split the beef into 4 equal balls then flatten with the palm of your hand. I try to get a patty roughly the same shape as the bread I'm using.
- Season generously on both sides with salt, pepper and garlic powder (optional).
- Cook the patties in a large skillet for 5-6 minutes per side until deeply golden and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- In the same pan you cooked the patties in, melt a tablespoon of butter.
- Add thinly sliced onions and mushrooms and cook for 20-30 minutes until the onions are caramelized.
- I added a splash of Worcestershire sauce to the onions while they were cooking but this is optional.
- Reduce the heat if the vegetables are darkening too quickly. You want them to be soft and silky with a deep caramelized flavor. Set aside.
- Assemble the sandwiches by layering the beef patties, a generous spoonful of the onions and a few slices of cheese in between two slices of bread.
- Butter the outsides of the sandwiches then cook in a pan set over medium heat until golden brown on both sides and hot throughout. Covering the pan with a lid while cooking will speed up the melting of the cheese.
- Once ready, remove the patty melt from the pan, slice and serve.
