✨🍔🥪🧀 Sheet Pan Patty Melts ✨
The ultimate hack for feeding a family—juicy beef patties, caramelized onions, and gooey cheese baked together on a sheet pan for perfectly toasted melts, all ready at the same time.
Ingredients 🛒
- 1 lb (450 g) ground beef (80/20 blend for juiciness)
- 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp butter (for onions) + 4 tbsp butter, softened (for bread)
- 8 slices thick-cut bread (sourdough, Texas toast, or rye)
- 8 slices Swiss, Provolone, or Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
Instructions 👩🍳
- Caramelize onions: Melt 2 tbsp butter in a skillet. Cook onions 15–20 minutes until golden and sweet. Set aside.
- Prep patties: Mix beef with Worcestershire, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Shape into 4 flat oval patties.
- Sear meat: Cook patties 3–4 minutes per side until browned. Remove from heat.
- Prep bread: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Butter one side of each bread slice.
- Assemble: On a sheet pan, place 4 slices butter-side down. Layer cheese, patty, onions, and another slice of cheese. Top with bread, butter-side up.
- Bake: Bake 5–7 minutes. Flip sandwiches, bake another 5–7 minutes until bread is golden and cheese melted.
- Serve: Slice and enjoy hot.
Tips 🌟
- Extra flavor: Add jalapeños or hot sauce.
