Steps:
- In a bowl, add mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, pickle juice, paprika, and garlic powder. Mix until smooth. Set aside.
- In a skillet over medium-low heat, add olive oil. When warm, add onions to pan and cook until softened and deep golden brown, about 25-30 minutes. (If onions begin to dry out or look like they're going to burn, add a splash of water to the pan and reduce the heat slightly.) Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a bowl, add ground beef, salt, pepper, and worcestershire sauce. Mix to combine and form into four thin, oblong patties (shape patties to match the shape of your bread). In a skillet over medium heat, add patties and cook until browned on both sides. Remove from heat and set aside. Wipe out any excess grease from the pan.
- Butter one side of each piece of bread. In a skillet over medium heat, layer your sandwiches as so: one slice of bread (buttered side down), one slice of swiss cheese, beef patty, caramelized onions, secret sauce, slice of cheddar cheese, and one slice of bread (buttered side up). Cook until golden brown on the bottom, flip, and cook until golden brown on the opposite side (this should take 1-2 minutes per side).

Tips:
- Use high-quality bread. A sturdy bread, like sourdough or French bread, will hold up well under the fillings and won't get soggy.
- Don't overcrowd the sandwich. Too many fillings will make the sandwich difficult to eat and may make the bread soggy.
- Toast the bread before assembling the sandwich. Toasting the bread will help it crisp up and stand up to the fillings.
- Use a variety of fillings. The possibilities are endless, so get creative and experiment with different flavors and textures.
- Season the fillings to taste. Don't be afraid to add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste.
- Use a good quality cheese. The cheese is one of the most important ingredients in a deli melt, so make sure to use a cheese that melts well and has a good flavor.
- Cook the sandwich in a single layer. This will help the sandwich cook evenly and prevent the bread from getting soggy.
- Keep an eye on the sandwich while it's cooking. Sandwiches can burn easily, so be sure to watch them closely.
Conclusion:
Tangy deli melts are a delicious and easy-to-make sandwich that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With a few simple tips, you can make a deli melt that is perfect for your taste.
