Classic Beef Patty with Caramelized Onions and Melted Cheese

Step 1: Prepare the Caramelized Onions

  1. Heat the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the sliced onions, stirring to coat them in the fat.
  3. Sprinkle with sugar and salt to enhance caramelization.
  4. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are deeply golden and sweet.
    • Pro Tip: Add a splash of water or beef broth if the onions stick to the pan.

Step 2: Make the Beef Patties

  1. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat.
  2. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape into flat patties slightly larger than your bread slices.
  3. Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes per side or until your desired doneness is reached. Add a slice of cheese to each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.

Step 3: Toast the Bread

  1. Spread butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread.
  2. Heat a clean skillet over medium heat. Place a slice of bread, buttered side down, into the skillet.
  3. Top with a cooked patty, caramelized onions, and a second slice of bread, buttered side up.
  4. Cook the sandwich for 2-3 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden and crisp.

Serving Suggestions

  • Serve the Classic Beef Patty warm with a side of crispy fries, a fresh garden salad, or a bowl of tomato soup for dipping.
  • Garnish with pickles or a drizzle of spicy mayo for extra flavor.

Tips for Success

  1. Even Patties: Make patties slightly thinner in the center to prevent them from puffing up during cooking.
  2. Bread Choices: Opt for sturdy bread like sourdough or brioche to hold up to the juicy patty and toppings.
  3. Onion Perfection: Low and slow cooking is key for perfectly caramelized onions. Patience pays off!

Conclusion

This Classic Beef Patty with Caramelized Onions and Melted Cheese is a dish that blends nostalgia with indulgence. Every bite offers a perfect harmony of savory beef, creamy cheese, sweet onions, and buttery toast. It’s a recipe that’s sure to impress family, friends, or anyone lucky enough to join you at the table!
