Patty Melt with Secret Sauce: Elevate Your Sandwich Game

1. Begin by dividing the ground beef into equal portions and shaping them into patties.
2. Season the patties generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
3. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of olive oil.
4. Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
5. Once cooked, remove the patties from the skillet and set them aside.

Making the Secret Sauce

1. In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.
2. Mix until all the ingredients are well incorporated, and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
3. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Assembling the Patty Melt

1. Slice the yellow onion thinly and sauté in butter until caramelized.
2. Lay out slices of rye bread and spread a generous amount of the secret sauce on each slice.
3. Place a slice of Swiss cheese on one side of each bread slice.
4. Top the cheese with a cooked beef patty and a spoonful of caramelized onions.
5. Close the sandwiches with the remaining bread slices, sauce side down.

Grilling the Patty Melt

1. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a knob of butter.
2. Carefully place the assembled sandwiches in the skillet and cook until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
3. Flip the sandwiches halfway through to ensure even cooking on both sides.
