Start by seasoning the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Divide the meat into two equal portions and shape each into a patty slightly larger than your bread slices.
Slice the onion into thin rings. In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of butter. Once melted, add the sliced onions. Cook while stirring occasionally for about 15-20 minutes or until the onions are caramelized and golden brown. Remove from skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of butter and heat over medium-high heat. Add the beef patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired doneness. Remove from heat and set patties aside.
Wipe the skillet clean and reduce the heat to medium. Assemble the patty melts by placing a slice of Swiss cheese on each piece of keto bread. Place a beef patty on top of two of the slices, top with caramelized onions, another slice of cheese, and finish with another slice of bread, cheese-side down.
Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the outside of each piece of bread. Sprinkle a pinch of garlic powder on the mayonnaise for additional flavor.
Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet and allow to melt. Place the assembled sandwiches into the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, pressing down slightly with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Transfer the patty melts to serving plates, cut in half if desired, and enjoy immediately.
