Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (80% lean)
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp butter
- 4 slices Swiss cheese slices
- 8 slices keto-friendly bread
- 4 tbsp mayonnaise
Instructions
Season the ground beef with salt and black pepper, mixing thoroughly to combine.
Form the seasoned beef into four oval-shaped patties, designed to match the shape of your bread slices.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of butter. Once melted, add the sliced onions.
Cook the onions, stirring occasionally, for about 10-12 minutes or until they are soft and golden brown. Remove onions from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter, and place the patties in the skillet.
Cook the patties for about 4 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Assemble the patty melts by spreading 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on one side of each slice of keto bread.
On the non-mayonnaise side of each of four slices, layer a cooked beef patty, some caramelized onions, and a slice of Swiss cheese.
Top each with the remaining bread slices, mayonnaise side out.
In a clean skillet over medium heat, cook each sandwich until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted, about 3 minutes per side.
Serve immediately, enjoying the crispy, gooey, low-carb delight.
