Print Recipe

A delicious and cheesy ground beef patty melt featuring caramelized onions, melted cheese, and a flavorful garlic aioli on crispy bread.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 cup cubed cheddar cheese
  • 1.5 tbsp kosher salt
  • 1.5 tbsp black pepper
  • 1.5 tbsp garlic powder
  • 2 cups sliced white onions
  • 2 tbsp beef tallow (or butter)
  • Kosher salt to taste
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp garlic puree
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 6–8 slices bacon
  • 6–8 burger buns

Instructions

  1. Prepare the garlic aioli by mixing mayonnaise, garlic puree, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  2. In a bowl, mix ground beef with cubed cheddar cheese, kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Form into ⅓ lb burger patties and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  3. Caramelize onions by cooking sliced onions in beef tallow over medium heat until soft and golden, seasoning with kosher salt to taste.
  4. Cook bacon until crispy and set aside.
  5. Heat skillet or grill to high (around 400°F). Cook patties for 8-10 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  6. Assemble the melt with burger bun (upside down), bacon, garlic aioli, beef patty, caramelized onions, cheese, and garlic aioli again.
  7. Place the assembled melt in the skillet and lightly press down; cook until buns are crispy and cheese is melted.
  8. Serve hot.

Notes

1. Use beef tallow or butter for richer flavor. 2. Letting the patties rest in the fridge helps them hold together better. 3. Adjust salt and pepper seasoning to taste.
