Grilled Cheese Patty Melts combine juicy, seasoned beef patties with melty Colby-Jack cheese sandwiched between buttery toasted white bread slices. This comforting sandwich is easy to prepare on the stovetop using a griddle, delivering rich flavors perfect for a hearty lunch or dinner.

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

  1. Prepare the Patties: In a bowl, combine ground beef, parsley, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and Montreal steak seasoning. Mix thoroughly until ingredients are evenly distributed. Shape mixture into 3 equal-sized patties.
  2. Cook the Patties: Heat a nonstick griddle over medium heat. Place the patties on the griddle and cook for 4 to 6 minutes per side until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) as measured by an instant-read thermometer. Remove patties from the griddle and set aside.
  3. Prepare Sandwiches: Warm a second griddle over medium heat. Butter one side of each bread slice generously. Place half of the bread slices buttered-side down on the griddle.
  4. Assemble Melt: On each bread slice on the griddle, layer one slice of Colby-Jack cheese, then a cooked burger patty, followed by another slice of cheese. Top each with the remaining bread slices, buttered-side up.
  5. Grill the Sandwiches: Grill the sandwiches on medium heat until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted, approximately 6 to 10 minutes. Flip the sandwiches halfway through the cooking time to ensure even toasting and melting.

Notes

  • You can swap Colby-Jack cheese for your favorite cheese variety to customize flavor.
  • Try using different types of bread such as whole wheat or sourdough for variation.
  • Ensure patties reach 160°F internal temperature to guarantee they are safely cooked.
  • Butter the bread slices well to achieve a crisp, golden crust.
