Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 onion
  • 2/3 lb ground Beef
  • burger Seasoning (Use your favorite or mine )
  • 2 Tbsp. butter
  • 4 Pieces of bread
  • 4 Slices of sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 onion
  • 3 Tbsp. butter
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 tsp. pepper
  • 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1–2 Tbsp. Worcestershire
  • 3 Tbsp. butter

Instructions

  1. Caramelize Onions: In your cast iron skillet, caramelize your onions.
  2. Set Aside Onions: Remove when deeply golden brown and set aside.
  3. Shape Patties: While the onions are cooking, slit your ground beef into 2 patties and shape them into squares slightly bigger than the size of your bread (they will shrink when they cook).
  4. Season Patties: Generously season both sides of your meat. If you don’t have the Kinder’s rub I use, I suggest mixing equal parts salt, pepper, and garlic powder, and using that!
  5. Cook Patties: Add the burgers to your pan and cook to medium rare (about 2.5-3 mins per side). Make sure to only flip once to lock in juices. (You can cook longer if needed, but the meat will cook more later.)
  6. Remove Patties: Remove the meat and set aside. Wipe out the pan if there is a lot of grease.
  7. Butter Bread: Butter one side of the bread and place it on the pan, butter side down.
  8. Assemble Patty Melt: Add a piece of cheese, then some of the onions, then a cooked burger patty, 1 more slice of cheese, and the final piece of bread (buttered with butter facing up).
  9. Cook Sandwich: Cook until deeply golden brown and flip. Do the same for the other side.
  10. Slice and Serve: Slice and eat.
  11. Enjoy: Enjoy!
