Burger Patty Melt with Hot Sriracha Mayo

Difficulty: EASY

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Total Time: 25 minutes

Serving Size: 6 servings

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sriracha hot chili sauce
  • 1 1/2 tbs lemon juice
  • 2 lb ground beef
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped onions
  • 12 thick white bread slices
  • 6 tbs butter
  • 18 slices of american cheese
  • dill pickle slices

Directions:

  1. To make the mayo, simply stir together the 3 ingredients in a small bowl. Shape ground beef into 6 patties, then cook 3 patties in 1 tbs hot oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat about 4 minutes on each side.
  2. Remove the 3 patties and repeat with the remaining 3 patties until all 6 are cooked to your desired temp. Remove the patties then saute the chopped onions in the hot drippings (BRILLIANT!) on medium-high heat for 8 minutes or until tender.
  3. Next, liberally coat 1 side of each bread slice with butter, turn the bread slices over and liberally coat each bread slice with hot mayo.
  4. Then layer the patty, 3 cheese slices, grilled onions and the pickles between bread slices, with the buttered sides facing out.
  5. In a clean skillet over medium-high heat, grill the sandwiches, in batches until bread is golden brown and cheese is melted.
