Grilled Cheese Patty Melts are hearty, flavorful sandwiches featuring juicy, seasoned ground beef patties nestled between layers of melted Colby-Jack cheese and buttered white bread, grilled to golden perfection. This comforting recipe combines the savory goodness of classic cheeseburgers with the crispy, cheesy satisfaction of a grilled cheese sandwich, perfect for a satisfying lunch or dinner.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Beef Patties

  • 1 lb 85% lean ground beef
  • 3 tbsp chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • 1 tbsp finely chopped garlic
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp Montreal-style steak seasoning

For the Sandwiches

  • 2 tbsp butter, softened (or as needed)
  • 6 slices white bread
  • 6 slices Colby-Jack cheese

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Beef Mixture: In a bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped fresh parsley, finely chopped garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and Montreal-style steak seasoning. Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute all the ingredients.
  2. Shape Patties: Divide the meat mixture into three equal portions and shape each into a round patty.
  3. Cook the Patties: Heat a nonstick griddle over medium heat. Cook each patty for 4 to 6 minutes per side, or until they reach the desired doneness. Use an instant-read thermometer to ensure the internal temperature registers at least 160°F (71°C) for safety. Once cooked, remove the patties from the griddle and set them aside.
  4. Prepare the Griddle for Sandwiches: Warm a second griddle over medium heat. Butter one side of each slice of bread generously.
  5. Assemble the Sandwiches on Griddle: Place half of the bread slices on the griddle, buttered-side down. On each slice, layer one slice of Colby-Jack cheese, then a cooked burger patty, followed by another slice of cheese.
  6. Top and Grill: Place the remaining bread slices on top of each assembled sandwich, buttered-side up. Grill the sandwiches on the griddle, flipping halfway through, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted fully. This should take about 6 to 10 minutes.

Notes

  • Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese such as cheddar, American, or Swiss to customize the flavor.
  • Try using whole wheat or sourdough bread for a different texture and added nutritional benefit.
  • Ensure patties are cooked to a safe internal temperature of 160°F to prevent any foodborne illness.
  • Butter amount can be adjusted based on preference for crispiness and richness.
