Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons Vegetable Oil
  • 2 large Yellow Onions thinly sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon Granulated Sugar
  • Kosher Salt to taste
  • 1/4 cup Unsalted Butter softened
  • 12 slices Crusty Rye Bread 1/2 inch thick cut
  • 2 pounds 80% lean Ground Chuck
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground Black Pepper
  • 1 1/2 cups grated Havarti or Swiss Cheese
  • Dijon or Spicy Brown Mustard to serve

Instructions

  • Pour oil into a medium skillet. Place over medium heat.
  • When oil is hot and shimmering, add sliced onions. Sprinkle with sugar.
  • Cover skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are tender and golden brown, about 15–20 minutes.
  • Season with a pinch of kosher salt. Remove onions from heat, Set aside.
  • Spread softened butter on both sides of each rye bread slice. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, add ground chuck, Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon of kosher salt, and ground black pepper, to taste. Mix gently to combine fully.
  • Divide mixture into 6 equal portions.
  • Shape into patties about 3/4-inch thick. Use your thumb or a spoon to press a shallow indentation, about 1 inch wide, into the center of each patty to help them cook evenly.
  • Preheat grill for direct cooking over high heat. Clean the cooking grates.
  • Grill patties with the lid closed as much as possible, turning once, until cooked to medium, about 8 - 10 minutes total.
  • Transfer the patties to a work surface or plate and reduce the grill’s heat to medium.
  • Place buttered bread slices on grill. Toast one side only over direct medium heat, about 1 minute.
  • Remove from the grill and place the bread, toasted sides up, on a work surface or plate.
  • Divide caramelized onions evenly among six slices of toasted bread.
  • Top each with a grilled patty.
  • Sprinkle generously with grated Havarti or Swiss cheese.
  • Place remaining slices of bread, toasted sides down, on top of the patties to form sandwiches.
  • Using a wide spatula, carefully return sandwiches to the grill. Toast over direct medium heat until bottom side is golden brown, about 1 minute. Gently flip sandwiches and toast the other side, another minute or so, until bread is crisp and cheese has melted.
  • Serve patty melts warm with Dijon or spicy brown mustard on the side.
