Ingredients

Patty Melt

Dressing

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 1/4 cup sriracha
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper

Instructions

Dressing

  • Combine all ingredients for the dressing in a mixing bowl. Whisk together and set aside.

Patty Melt

  • Light griddle and set to medium high heat. Place a large cast iron skillet on the griddle surface and preheat griddle and skillet for 10 minutes.
  • Add butter to the cast iron skillet and let it melt. Once melted, add sliced onions. Allow them to cook down and caramelize for 30 minutes, stirring often.
  • When onions have been cooking for about 15 minutes, add bacon to the griddle and cook to desired doneness. When bacon is halfway done, flip it and add beef patties to the griddle.
  • Cook beef patties for two minutes, then flip. Add two slices of cheese to each patty and allow it to melt while cooking the patty for an additional two minutes, for four minutes total. Remove the patties and bacon from the griddle, and the onions from the skillet.
  • Butter one side of each bread slice with 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the bread, butter side down, to the griddle and allow it to brown on one side. About one minute.
  • Remove the bread and place two slices browned side down on a cutting board. Apply dressing, and top with two burger patties, bacon, caramelized onions, and additional dressing. Top each with another slice of bread, slice in half, and serve hot.
