Ingredients
Scale
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
Sandwich
- 2 tbsp butter, softened (or as needed)
- 6 slices white bread
- 6 slices Colby-Jack cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the Patty Mixture: In a bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped parsley, finely chopped garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and Montreal-style steak seasoning. Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute all ingredients.
- Shape the Patties: Divide the mixture into three equal portions and shape each into a patty of uniform thickness to ensure even cooking.
- Cook the Patties: Heat a nonstick griddle over medium heat. Cook the patties for 4 to 6 minutes per side, or until they reach the desired doneness. Use an instant-read thermometer to confirm the internal temperature is at least 160°F (71°C) for safe consumption.
- Set the Patties Aside: Remove the cooked patties from the griddle and set them aside to rest while preparing the sandwiches.
- Prepare Bread for Grilling: Warm a second griddle over medium heat. Butter one side of each slice of white bread to create a crispy, flavorful exterior when grilled.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Place half of the bread slices, buttered side down, onto the warmed griddle. Layer each slice with one slice of Colby-Jack cheese, a cooked burger patty, and another slice of cheese on top.
- Top and Grill the Sandwiches: Place the remaining bread slices on top, buttered side up. Grill the assembled sandwiches until the bread becomes golden brown and the cheese melts, about 6 to 10 minutes total, flipping them halfway through the process to ensure even cooking.
Notes
- Feel free to experiment with different types of bread and cheese to customize the melt to your taste preferences.
- Ensure the internal temperature of the patties reaches 160°F (71°C) for food safety.
- Butter the bread generously for a crispy and flavorful crust.
