Preparing the Patties:
Form the Patties: Divide the ground beef into four equal portions and shape them into patties. Season each patty with salt and pepper.
Cook the Patties: Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Preparing the Onions:
Caramelize the Onions: In the same skillet, add a bit of butter and the thinly sliced onions. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the onions are golden brown and caramelized. This should take about 15-20 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Assembling the Patty Melts:
Butter the Bread: Spread butter on one side of each slice of rye bread.
Layer the Ingredients: On the unbuttered side of four slices, place a slice of Swiss cheese, followed by a beef patty, caramelized onions, a slice of cheddar cheese, and finally the top slice of bread, buttered side out.
Grill the Sandwiches: Heat the skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the assembled sandwiches in the skillet and cook until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Making the Secret Sauce:
Mix the Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, ketchup, Dijon mustard, relish, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.
