Skillet-Seared Lean Beef Patty Melt with Caramelized Onions
Enjoy a hearty patty melt featuring a perfectly seared lean beef patty sandwiched between whole wheat bread with sweet, caramelized onions and a slice of reduced-fat cheddar cheese. The blend of savory beef and rich, mellow onions creates a satisfying meal, ideal for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Beef
2 slices Whole Wheat Bread
½ medium Onion
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 slice Reduced-Fat Cheddar Cheese
PREPARATION
Preheat a skillet over medium heat.
Thinly slice the half medium onion. Add the olive oil to the skillet and warm it up.
Add the onion slices to the skillet and cook on medium-low heat, stirring occasionally until they become soft and golden brown, about 10-12 minutes for proper caramelization.
While the onions are caramelizing, shape the lean ground beef into a patty and season with salt and pepper.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the beef patty to the skillet. Sear each side for about 3-4 minutes until a nice crust forms and the patty is cooked to your desired doneness.
Lightly toast the whole wheat bread slices in a separate pan or in a toaster.
Assemble the patty melt by placing the seared beef patty on a slice of toasted bread, topping it with the caramelized onions and then the reduced-fat cheddar cheese. Place the second slice of toasted bread on top.
If desired, return the assembled sandwich to the skillet for 1-2 minutes to melt the cheese further and crisp up the bread.
Serve warm and enjoy a balanced, delicious meal.
