Yield: 4 servings
Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 400g beef mince; salt and pepper to season; 1 large onion, thinly sliced; 3 tbsp butter; 4 slices rye bread; 4 slices swiss cheese

A classic American diner sandwich — beef patty with caramelised onions and swiss on rye. Caramelising the onions over medium-low heat for the full 30 minutes, and shaping the patty into an oval to match the bread, are both what make this taste like a proper diner patty melt rather than just a burger on toast.
