This patty melt recipe combines the best of a grilled cheese sandwich and burger, topped with caramelized onions and Swiss cheese for a diner classic at home.

  • 2 tablespoons butter divided
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 pound lean ground beef 80/20
  • salt and pepper to taste

  • 8 slices sourdough bread or rye bread
  • 2 tablespoon butter or as needed
  • 6 ounces Swiss cheese or cheddar, sliced

  6. With a spatula, flip each sandwich over and grill on the other side, adding more butter as needed, until the cheese ismelted and the bread is lightly toasted.
