The Original Bubba Burger Patty Melt Recipes

CLASSIC PATTY MELT

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until very soft and golden, about 25 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl.
• Mix the ground meat with the ketchup, Worcestershire, onion powder, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Form the meat into 4 oblong patties in the approximate size and shape of the bread (they should be a little less than 1/2-inch-thick).
• Add 1 tablespoon butter to the skillet and heat it over medium-high heat until the foam subsides. Add the patties and cook, turning once, until cooked to medium doneness, about 2 1/2 minutes per side. Add salt and pepper, if desired. Transfer to a plate.
• Wipe the skillet clean. Butter one side of half of the bread slices, then place them butter-side down in the skillet. Add a slice of cheese on top of each slice of bread, then add the patties and onions. Lay one more slice of cheese on top of the onions, then add the top slices of bread. Butter the top of the bread. Flip the sandwiches and cook until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and cover loosely with foil. Cook the remaining sandwiches with the remaining butter in the same manner.
• Cut the patty melts in half and serve immediately.

THE ORIGINAL BUBBA BURGER PATTY MELT

Steps:

• Slice onions into long thin strips. Melt 1 tbsp butter in a skillet on medium heat and add onions. Fry onions and stir until they take on a golden brown color. Remove from the skillet and set the onions aside in a small bowl.
• Place 4 frozen Original BUBBA burgers in the same skillet used to cook the onions. Cook and wait for the juices to rise to the top (4-6 minutes). Flip burgers and cook for another 4-6 minutes. You'll want to get the internal temperature to 160 degrees.
• Stack your burgers in this order: 1 slice Texas toast, 1 slice cheese, 1 Original BUBBA burger®, ¼ of the onions, 1 slice cheese, 1 slice Texas toast.
• Melt 1 tbsp of butter in the skillet and place your burgers in the pan. Cook for 5 minutes or until golden brown. Flip your burger and cook for another 2 minutes to brown the other site. Plate and enjoy the buttery crunch with your warm and juicy burger!

CLASSIC PATTY MELT

Steps:

• Season ground beef with salt and pepper and divide into 3 equal-sized balls. Shape each ball as close as possible to the shape of the bread. Make an indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb.
• Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat and cook onion until soft and translucent, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove from the skillet and divide into 3 equal portions. Place beef patties into the same skillet and cook until desired doneness, 3 to 5 minutes per side.
• Meanwhile, spread 1 teaspoons mayonnaise on one side of each slice of bread.
• Place bread mayonnaise side-down in the skillet. Top with 1 slice of cheese, 1 beef patty, 1/3 of the onions, a second slice of cheese, and another slice of bread, mayonnaise side up. Cook bread until golden brown and cheese has started to melt, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip each sandwich over and cook an additional 3 to 4 minutes.
