Caramelize the Onions (15-18 minutes):

1. Heat 2 tablespoons of Burger Infused Olive Oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add sliced onions and cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and deeply caramelized.

Prepare the Beef Patties (5 minutes):

1. Gently mix the ground beef with the remaining Burger Infused Olive Oil, kosher salt, and black pepper. Divide into four thin oval patties sized to fit the rye bread.

Cook the Patties (6-8 minutes):

1. Increase the skillet to medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 3 to 4 minutes per side until browned and cooked through.

Assemble the Patty Melts (5 minutes):

Toast and Serve (5-7 minutes):

Notes

Adding Burger Infused Olive Oil to both the onions and the beef builds deeper flavor throughout the sandwich. Cook the onions slowly for the best sweetness and avoid pressing the patties too firmly so they stay juicy.
