Delicious Directions
Start by melting butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat, then add in 2 tablespoons of oil, followed by the sliced onions. Season with salt and pepper, ensuring the onions are well-coated in the buttery mixture. Allow them to cook for 15 minutes, stirring every so often. Pour in Allagash White to deglaze the pan, lending the onions the beer’s subtle citrus and spice notes as they continue to caramelize over the next 35-45 minutes.
While your onions soak up those sweet, beer-infused flavors, heat a bit of oil in a separate skillet over medium-high heat. Form rounded balls of ground beef and flatten them into patties. Season with salt and pepper. Cook each patty for 3-4 minutes, then flip, top with a slice of cheddar cheese, and cover briefly to melt the cheese completely. Set aside once cooked, repeating this process for all patties.
Assembly & Enjoyment
Take slices of rye bread and lightly toast them in a skillet for added texture. Meanwhile, prepare a delectable burger sauce—mixing your favorite condiments to suit your personal taste in a small bowl. Begin assembling your patty melt by spreading the sauce over four slices of bread. Layer with two beef patties topped with those heavenly Allagash White caramelized onions. Finish with the remaining bread slices on top.
Serve and savor your patty melt hot off the skillet, preferably paired with a chilled glass of Allagash White to complement the dish perfectly. Dive into your creation, where craft beer meets culinary delight. Cheers to cooking with flavor and flair!
