Patty Melts, my way

Need something quick tonight for dinner but don't want the same boring burger? Why not try a Patty Melt instead. It's a burger but different. It is delicious, easy to make, and will remind you of being in a diner with your sweetheart. Recipe below.
Enjoy!

Ingredients:
1 medium onion, sliced
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp butter
1 lb ground chuck
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
salt & pepper to taste
pepperjack cheese
thousand island dressing
Italian bread, sliced
In a large skillet, heat oil and butter until melted. Add sliced onions, salt and pepper to taste, and cook for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and tender. In the meantime, combine ground chuck, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt and pepper to taste. Make patties the shape and size of your bread. When onions are tender, remove from the pan and set aside. Leave the oil from cooking the onions in the pan. Lay the patties in the oil flipping over when browned well. When second side is almost done, lay cheese on top and cover with a lid. This will help the cheese melt. Remove from pan when cheese has melted, and meat is done. Wipe pan out. Butter one side of your bread. Lay butter side down, smear with thousand island dressing. Lay patty on top of dressing, smother with onions, place second slice of bread on top butter side up. Toast bread, carefully flipping over, and toast second side. Serve with your choice of sides.
