Grilled Patty Melts Recipe

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.

Pat out three 1/3-pound hamburger patties pressing each patty down with your index and middle fingers to get a nice flat burger instead of a ball. Season patties on both sides with salt and pepper.

Cook on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the centers 10 to 12 minutes flipping halfway. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

Meanwhile melt butter in a saucepan over low heat. Increase heat to medium-low add onion and saute until tender 5 to 7 minutes.

Place 3 slices of bread on the grill. Top each with a slice of American cheese a cooked patty sauteed onions a slice of Swiss cheese and the remaining bread. Grill sandwiches until cheese melts about 1 minute per side.
