A comforting sandwich filled with savory beef, creamy cheese, and sweet caramelized onions, perfect for a hearty lunch or dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend for juicy tenderness)
  • 2 large onions, thinly sliced (adding aromatic sweetness)
  • 8 slices of American cheese (creamy and melty)
  • 8 slices of Texas toast (thick and fluffy)
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter (for that golden crust)
  • Salt and pepper to taste (to enhance the flavors)
  • 4 tbsp creamy pepper sauce (optional, for an extra layer of flavor)

Instructions

  1. Start by caramelizing the onions. Heat a skillet over low heat and add the thinly sliced onions with a pinch of salt. Cook gently, stirring occasionally until they turn golden brown and sweet, about 20 minutes. Once done, set them aside.
  2. While the onions are cooking, form the ground beef into four oval patties. Season those patties with salt and pepper to taste. In a separate heated skillet over medium-high heat, cook the patties for about 4 minutes on each side or until they reach your preferred doneness. After cooking, remove them from the skillet and set aside.
  3. For a creamy addition, prepare the optional creamy pepper sauce. In a bowl, mix together all the sauce ingredients until well combined.
  4. Now comes the fun part: assembling your sandwiches! Spread unsalted butter on one side of each slice of Texas toast and a generous layer of creamy pepper sauce on the other side. Begin with a slice of toast, adding cheese, followed by the beef patty, and then the caramelized onions. Top it off with more cheese, place another slice of toasted bread (buttered side out) on top, and transfer the sandwich to the skillet.
  5. Toast over medium heat until both sides are golden brown and the cheese has melted. Once perfectly golden, serve the Ultimate Patty Melt hot, cut in half, and enjoy with sides like crispy fries or a fresh salad.

Notes

For best results, take your time caramelizing the onions and ensure to layer cheese generously for an optimal melt.
