Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 slices of rye bread
- 1/2 pound of ground beef
- 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup of mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons of ketchup
- 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon of paprika
- 2 tablespoons of butter
- 1/4 cup of sliced onions
- 1/4 cup of sliced pickles
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix together 1/4 cup of mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons of ketchup, 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of paprika to create the pink sauce. Set aside.
- Divide the ground beef into 2 equal portions and form them into patties. Season with salt and pepper.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter and toast 4 slices of rye bread until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet and sauté 1/4 cup of sliced onions until they are soft and caramelized.
- To assemble the patty melts, spread the pink sauce on one side of each slice of rye bread. Place a patty on two of the slices and top with the sautéed onions, 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, and a few slices of pickles. Top with the remaining slices of bread, sauce side down.
- Return the assembled patty melts to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the bread is crispy and the cheese is melted.
- Slice the patty melts in half and serve hot. Enjoy!
Patrick's Pink Patty Melt is a beloved classic with a twist, originating from a small diner in the heart of Texas. This iconic dish features a juicy beef patty, caramelized onions, and melted Swiss cheese, all sandwiched between two slices of pink-colored rye bread. The unique pink hue of the bread comes from a special blend of beet juice and traditional rye flour, giving the patty melt its signature look. This innovative creation quickly gained popularity, and now, it's a staple in diners across the country. For the best version of this dish, head to Texas, where chefs take pride in perfecting the balance of flavors and textures. The key to nailing this dish lies in the quality of the beef patty and the perfectly caramelized onions, which add a sweet and savory depth to each bite. While the traditional recipe is a fan favorite, some chefs have put their own spin on the patty melt, using alternative methods such as adding bacon or a special sauce to elevate the flavors. Whether you're a purist or open to creative variations, Patrick's Pink Patty Melt is a must-try for any food enthusiast.
