How To Make Patty Melt Recipe
Set a large sauté pan, or skillet over medium heat. Add 4 tablespoons of butter to the skillet. Once melted, stir in the onion slices. Sprinkle the onions generously with salt and pepper. Turn the heat down to medium-low and stir the onions. Continue to stir and sauté the onions for 15 to 20 minutes, until they are soft and caramelized on all sides. Then turn off the heat.
Meanwhile, set out a large mixing bowl. Place the ground beef in the mixing bowl and add 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce, ½ teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, and ½ teaspoon of cracked black pepper. Crumble the ground beef with your hands, mixing the seasonings throughout the meat. Then press the ground beef into the bottom of the bowl and use a butter knife to divide into six equal portions.
Place a large sheet of parchment paper or foil on the countertop. One at a time, shape the ground beef portions into very flat ovals that are larger than your bread slices. (They will shrink as they cook.)
