How to Make Patty Melt avec Sauce Secrète

- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
- Heat a skillet over medium heat. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter and add the sliced onions. Cook until caramelized, about 10-15 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, increase the heat to medium-high. Divide the ground beef into two patties and season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until desired doneness is reached.

- Add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the skillet. Grill the sandwiches over medium heat until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Remove from skillet, slice in half, and serve warm.
