Bacon Cheese Patty Melts

After seeing Dyal's patty melts last week, I knew I was going to have to make some up for myself. Thanks, Dyal for the idea.

Started by grinding up 3 lbs of chuck. Wasn't happy with the fat content, so I ground up 5 slices of bacon with it.


Mrs. G decided to press some onions into her patties.


Onto the Egg at 450 direct. Flipped after a few minutes


Mrs. G didn't want a patty melt.


Plated up with some tater tots


The patty melts came out really good. I think the addition of the bacon kept them from drying out, but didn't really add any flavor at least not that I could taste. Although with the toast, the cheese, condiments and extra bacon, I'm not sure I would have tasted it anyway.

Yessir! Looks delicious, Garffen! I love Mrs. Garffen's idea with pressing the onion into the patty... I gotta try that. Killer pics BTW!!

Nice job... That is one pretty plate.

No one should ever have to suffer with too-lean ground beef!

The burger and the patty melt both look great!

Looks Delicious!!
I bet the bacon mixed with the meat gave it a great flavor.
