Patty Melts

It doesn't get much better than this...

1 pound turkey bacon
Fry until nice and crisp, remove from skillet and drain on paper towels, set aside until ready to use.

1 medium onion
2 TBS olive oil
Slice the onion into thin slices, sauté (in the skillet used to fry the bacon) with the olive oil for about 7 minutes or until caramelized. Remove from skillet to a bowl and set aside until ready to build the sandwiches.

2 pounds lean ground beef
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
3 or 4 dashes of Worcestershire sauce

Mix all together and form into oblong or round patties, your choice. Fry in a skillet (same used to sauté onions) until desired doneness, I like mine well done. Makes 8 good sized patties.

16 slices of your favorite bread*
butter or margarine spread
mayonnaise
Provolone cheese, swiss cheese, or any of your favorite cheese slices*
Start assembling your Patty Melts.
Butter one side of the bread (grill side) and spread mayo on the other side (goodie side)
Place one slice of cheese, burger patty, onions, another slice of cheese and top with another slice of bread that has been buttered on the grill side and mayo spread on the inside.
Grill in a pan until cheese is melted and the bread is nicely toasted. Enjoy!

 

Oops, I didn't take a picture of the same sandwich... :)

 

 

This is the first sandwich, sans the onions for my son...

 

 

 

 

 

*I used provolone and swiss cheese slices, wheat and marble rye bread.
