A patty melt is a crowd favorite. There are some strong opinions on what makes a patty melt a patty melt. A purist will tell you that it is seeded rye and swiss and a southerner will tell you that it is sourdough and cheddar. We did both to bring you two incredible options. This recipe is great for parties as it only takes about 15 minutes (once the grill is hot!) and it gets your guest interacting with the meal. So tell us, are you a rye or sourdough person?
Ingredients
Servings
0.5
lbs
80/20 ground chuck
0.25
Yellow Onions, chopped
Cheddar Cheese
Swiss Cheese
Seeded Rye OR Sourdough Bread
Directions
Step 1
Separate the ground chuck into 16 equal-sized balls (about lime sized)
Step 2
Flip your GrillGrates onto the flat side and warm up your Gas/Pellet Grill or place them once Charcoal Grill is ready
Step 3
Spread your roughly chopped onions in an even layer on the grill - this will help the onions grill evenly and quickly
Step 4
After about 5 minutes flip the onions, now it is time to start the smash burgers!
Step 5
Place the chuck balls on the hot GrillGrate surface, using something flat immediately "smash" the burgers as thin as possible
Step 6
Smash burgers cook quickly - go ahead and place bread on the grill butter side down! Place two pieces of cheese on each slice of bread.
