Secret Sauce:
¼ c mayonnaise
2 tbsp ketchup
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp pickle juice
¼ tsp paprika
¼ tsp garlic powder
Patty Melts:
2 tbsp olive oil
2 large onions, thinly sliced
12 oz 85/15 ground beef
½ tsp salt
½ tsp pepper
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
8 slices rye bread
3 tbsp unsalted butter
4 slices Swiss cheese
4 slices cheddar cheese
Instructions
Secret Sauce:
Mix together mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, pickle juice, paprika, and garlic powder in a bowl until smooth. Set aside.
Patty Melts:
Heat olive oil in a skillet on medium-low. Add sliced onions and cook until they’re soft and golden brown, about 30 minutes. If they start to dry out or burn, add a little water and lower the heat. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In a bowl, mix ground beef, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Shape into four thin patties that match your bread’s shape.
Cook patties in a skillet over medium heat until browned on both sides. Remove and set aside. Wipe the skillet clean.
Spread butter on one side of each bread slice. In the skillet, place a slice of bread butter-side down, then layer on Swiss cheese, a beef patty, onions, secret sauce, cheddar cheese, and another slice of bread butter-side up.
Cook on medium heat until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted, flipping once. Repeat for all sandwiches.
