Patty Melts

Submitted by Diana Adcock

"Really good with fries and slaw. ETA: I really like the finished sandwich fried like a grilled cheese. When I make them that way I toast my rye on the bagel setting, assembling the sandwich "toasted side in". I also add Thousand Island Dressing on top of the onions. Then butter the bread and fry "like a grilled cheese sandwich". Nirvana!"

My family and I thought this was so YUMMY!! The patties were well seasoned and tender. The sauteed onions and Swiss cheese make this the total package. Thanks Diana for another one of your superb recipes.

Delish! I love good old fashioned patty melts and this one sure hit the spot! It was easy to prepare and so tasty. I especially love the caramelized onions which put this over-the-top. Thank you!

These are delicious, Di! I hadn't had a patty melt in years! I was out of hamburger buns and did a recipe search and decided to make these. A very nice change from plain old burgers...we really enjoyed these! Thanks!

I may have been the only person in North America who had never had a Patty Melt. That has been corrected and this recipe will be a regular here! DH's comment was "This is my kind of meal" <br/>I made it pretty much as directed but didn't have swiss cheese so I used a mixture of provolone and cheddar. I also had to add a touch more pepper but other than that the flavours were spot on. Thanks for sharing this simple, tasty and definitely man pleasing recipe!
