We’ve checked the “double” box on everything here: beer, patties, cheese. Double dry-hopped Powder Day lends its kick to burgers topped with juicy onions, pressed to perfection in crispy rye bread — all the flavors, all the texture.
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 onions, sliced 1-inch thick
- 1/4 cup, plus a splash of Powder Day IPA
- 1 pound ground beef
- 2 slices of cheddar cheese
- 2 slices of Swiss cheese
- 4 slices Rye bread
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to season
Step 1
Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and season with salt and pepper. Cook onions for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until nicely caramelized.
Step 2
Add 1/4 cup of Powder Day IPA, and lower heat to a simmer. Cook for 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, add a splash of Powder Day IPA to ground beef. Mix in with fingers. Divide ground beef in half, then half again to make four equal-sized meat balls. On a cutting board, press each ball into a disc, then shape into patties, seasoning well on both sides.
Step 4
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add patties and cook for 2-4 minutes, until nicely browned. Flip, top with cheese, and cook until cheese is melted, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 5
Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 slices of rye bread, top with two patties each, and caramelized onions. Top each with a slice of rye, cook for 3-5 minutes, until the bread is nicely browned, and flip patty melts over.
Step 6
Add remaining butter, tossing sandwiches around in melted butter. Cook for 3-5 minutes, remove patty melts from the pan, slice, and serve.
