Dawkins' Diner.. don't mind if I do!

I am a sucker for a good Patty Melt. I love the buttery crunchy bread, the ooey gooey cheese, and the sweet crunch of the caramelized onions.. yumm-o! I found this recipe on Pintrest but it came from one of my hero's... The Pioneer  Woman! This woman is a true inspiration to all women! I am going to get right to it! Chris was a big help in the kitchen as we embarked on this diner journey. We did say that next time we make this.. because... there will be a next time... we are doing to patty the meat thinner! you will soon see what I am talking about. Here is goes peeps!

Pioneer Woman Patty Melts:

Ingredients

• 1 stick Butter
• 1 whole Large Onion, Halved And Sliced
• 1-1/2 pound Ground Beef
• Salt And Pepper, to taste
• 5 dashes Worcestershire Sauce
• 8 slices Swiss Cheese
• 8 slices Rye Bread

Preparation Instructions

In a medium skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-low heat. Throw in the sliced onions and cook slowly for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are golden brown and soft.

In a medium bowl, mix together the ground beef, salt & pepper, and Worcestershire. Form into 4 patties.

Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a separate skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties on both sides until totally done in the middle.

Assemble patty melts this way: Slice of bread, slice of cheese, hamburger patty, 1/4 of the cooked onions, another slice of cheese, and another slice of bread. On a clean griddle or in a skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter and grill the sandwiches over medium heat until golden brown. Remove the sandwiches and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet. Turn the sandwiches to the skillet, flipping them to the other side. Cook until golden brown and crisp, and until cheese is melted.

Slice in half and serve immediately!

using a cast iron skillet is the only way to go for this recipe

no fancy side dish for this monster sandwich. just plain shells and cheese with rotel drained and added
