It doesn't get much better than a juicy hamburger patty covered with delicious caramelized onions and melted cheese. All sadwiched together between warm toasted bread, your family is going to love these patty melts.

The reason I think that you will enjoy these so much is the taste of gooey cheese melt with the sweet caramelized onion is a match made in heaven. It is the perfect savory meal with the seasoned beef, the melty cheese and the sweetness of the onion 

Ingredients 

• Ground beef - most of the time you should use an 80/20 combination of meat and fat. That seems to have the best flavor. You can use fat cooking off it may have more favor.
• Bread - most of the recipes that we see have you use rye bread as it is a hearty bread and this is the classic, but in out family we dont normally have different types of bread so we just use 100% whole wheat. But you can use what ever works for you some other good once sourdough. Texas toast
• Onion - we like to use a yellow onion but depending be what you want if you would like onions with more color you can use red onions
• Mayonnaise - this is added to both sides of the bread to help give it a nice flavor on the inside and to help give the bread a nice golden color. Trust me sounds crazy but just try it. It is easier to spread on the bread when cooking and it's more predictable because you can easily get an even coating all over.
• Cheese - we normally use cheddar cheese  but another option that I like to use is pepper jack

if you let the bread sit too long with the mayonnaise it gets wet and make the bread squishy 

I like to use the fat from hamburgers to cook the onions but if need can use a little oil if using none fatty mix
