Applebees Classic Patty Melt Recipes

Steps:

• Season one side of the burger with salt, pepper and garlic. Place on grill or in broiler, seasoned side down. Season the other side and flip. Cook to prefered doneness.
• While burger is cooking, melt butter in fry pan on medium heat. Spread mayonnaise onto bread. Drop bread, dry side down, onto melted butter and swirl to coat.
• Cover one slice of bread with two slices of Swiss cheese and the other with two slices of Cheddar.
• In a separate frying pan, melt butter and saute sliced onions. Season with salt, pepper and garlic.
• Place cooked burger patty on top of one cheese-topped slice of bread and the saute onions on the other. Carefully assemble and cut sandwich.

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.

Steps:

• 1. Season one side of the burger with salt, pepper and garlic. Place on grill or in broiler, seasoned side down. Then season the other side. Cook to desired doneness. While burger is cooking, melt butter in fry pan on medium heat or in electric skillet (set at 350 degrees). Spread mayonnaise onto bread. Drop bread, dry side down, onto melted pools and swirl to coat (to avoid sticking/burning). Cover one slice of bread with two slices of Swiss cheese and the other with two slices of Cheddar. In a separate frying pan, melt butter and sauté sliced onions. Season with salt, pepper and garlic while heating. Place cooked burger patty on top of one cheese-topped slice of bread and the sautéed onions on the other. Carefully close and cut sandwich.
