Patty Melt and Fries

One of SP's favorite ways to eat a burger is a patty melt. I've never had one in a restaurant but it always looks good when he orders one. Since I've been experimenting with burgers lately I thought I'd give the patty melt a try.


I used regular white bread since we wouldn't go through a whole loaf of rye and I made my patty melt with American cheese instead of the more traditional Swiss that SP had. I used meatloaf mix (my standby these days) for the burgers and slow-cooked two onions for the topping.


It's hard to tell from the pictures but there was a ton of gooey cheese on the sandwich. The sweetness from the onions was a great contract. I loved this sandwich, especially dipped into ketchup. Yum!
