Time 35m

Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound 85% lean ground beef
3 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon Montreal-style steak seasoning
6 slices white bread
6 slices Colby-Jack cheese

Steps:

  • Combine ground beef, parsley, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and steak seasoning in a bowl; mix until thoroughly combined. Form into 3 evenly-sized patties.
  • Warm a nonstick griddle over medium heat. Place burgers onto the warm griddle and cook to desired doneness, 4 to 6 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (71 degrees C). Remove burgers and set aside.
  • Warm a second griddle over medium heat. Butter 1 side of each bread slice. Place a slice of bread onto the griddle, butter-side down. Add a slice of cheese, a burger, and a second slice of cheese. Top with another slice of bread, butter-side up. Repeat with remaining burgers.
  • Cook until bread is golden brown on the bottom, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip and cook until the other side is golden brown and cheese is melted, 3 to 5 minutes more.

Tips:

  • When choosing your bread, look for a sturdy variety that can hold up to the fillings. Some good options include sourdough, rye, or a hearty white bread.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of cheese. A classic patty melt typically uses American cheese, but you can also try Swiss, cheddar, or mozzarella.
  • If you're looking for a more flavorful patty melt, try adding some cooked bacon or crumbled sausage to the filling.
  • Be sure to cook the patties until they are cooked through. This will help to prevent them from falling apart when you're assembling the sandwiches.
  • If you're using a griddle or skillet to cook the sandwiches, be sure to grease it well to prevent the bread from sticking.
  • Serve the patty melts immediately with your favorite sides, such as fries, onion rings, or coleslaw.
