Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Main Ingredients:
- 1.5 pounds (680 grams) ground beef
- 6 slices american cheese
- 2 sesame burger buns
Seasonings and Spices:
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
Vegetables and Condiments:
- 1.5 cups (360 milliliters) sliced yellow onion
- 3 tablespoons (45 milliliters) salted butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) ketchup
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) yellow mustard
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) mayonnaise
- 1 roma tomato, sliced
- 4 green leaf lettuce leaves
- 2 teaspoons (10 milliliters) olive oil
Instructions
- Craft four uniform ground beef spheres, each weighing approximately 6 ounces, infusing them with a robust seasoning blend of salt, pepper, garlic, and onion powders.
- Ignite a large skillet with olive oil over robust heat, introducing the beef spheres and allowing them to sear for two minutes before transforming them into thin, crispy patties using decisive spatula pressure.
- Continue cooking patties until they develop a rich, caramelized exterior, ensuring complete doneness while preserving the skillet’s flavorful drippings.
- Transition the cooked patties to a separate plate, then introduce sliced onions into the same pan, orchestrating a slow caramelization process until they transform into golden, silky strands.
- Lavish the split bun surfaces with softened butter, then gently toast them in a cleaned skillet at moderate temperature until achieving a delicate, golden complexion.
- Construct the sandwich methodically: layer American cheese slices, positioned burger patties, scatter caramelized onions, and repeat the layering process to create a towering, indulgent masterpiece.
- Compress the assembled sandwich with gentle spatula pressure, grilling each side until the exterior turns crisp and golden while internal cheese melts luxuriously.
- Plate the patty melt with accompanying condiment selections, offering optional fresh garnishes like crisp lettuce and ripe tomato slices for personalized enhancement.
Notes
- Choose high-fat ground beef like 80/20 for juicier, more flavorful patties that won’t dry out during cooking.
- Smash patties thinly to create crispy, caramelized edges with maximum beef crust for incredible texture and deep flavor.
- Keep burger drippings in the pan when caramelizing onions to enhance their natural sweetness and add extra richness to the overall taste.
