Step-by-Step Instructions for Patty Melt

Thinly slice onions, heat skillet over medium-low heat, add butter, and cook onions for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
Form ground beef into thin patties larger than bread slices and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Increase heat to medium-high and cook patties in skillet for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned and juices run clear.
Lower heat to medium, spread butter on one side of each bread slice, and toast butter-side down for 2-3 minutes.
Assemble the sandwich with cheese, patty, caramelized onions, and another slice of cheese, topped with a second slice of bread.
Grill assembled sandwich in the skillet, pressing down gently, for about 3-4 minutes per side until golden and cheese melts.
Remove from skillet, cut diagonally, and serve with parsley or mustard if desired.
