Sourdough Patty Melts

To tell the truth, I have never had a patty melt before I made these myself. Traditionally, these are made with rye and sometimes mayonnaise, but I am not a fan of either. So I made this with sourdough, cheddar,provolone and pickled onions. These were so easy to make and really delicious. Be warned that these are very rich, so I suggest a lighter side such as roasted asparagus or a salad. This is a great meal for weeknights. Everyone will love these.

Brown the ground beef and caramelize the onions.

Melt butter in a frying pan and assemble the melts. Cook them on each side.
