HAMBURGER PATTIE RECIPES: Texas Patty Melts Recipe

Texas Patty Melts Recipe



Texas Patty Melts Recipe 

A Texas Patty Melt takes the classic patty melt and turns the flavor all the way up. Juicy, well-seasoned beef patties are layered with deeply caramelized onions and melted cheese, then griddled between thick slices of buttery Texas toast until golden and crispy.

This is comfort food with serious attitude.

Why You’ll Love This Texas Patty Melt

  • Thick Texas toast for extra crunch and structure

  • Juicy beef patty with bold seasoning

  • Caramelized onions for deep, savory sweetness

  • Melted cheese in every bite

  • Griddle-style cooking for diner-quality results

Ingredients (Makes 4 Patty Melts)

Patties

  • 1 lb (450 g) ground beef (80/20 recommended)

  • 1 tsp kosher salt

  • ½ tsp black pepper

  • ½ tsp garlic powder

  • ½ tsp onion powder

Sandwich Assembly

  • 8 slices Texas toast

  • 2 large onions, thinly sliced

  • 2 tbsp butter (for onions)

  • 4 tbsp butter, softened (for bread)

  • 8 slices cheese (American, Swiss, cheddar, or a combo)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Caramelize the Onions

Melt 2 tbsp butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add sliced onions and cook slowly for 20–25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until deep golden and sweet. Remove and set aside.

2. Cook the Patties

Season beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Form into 4 thin oval patties.
Cook in a hot skillet or griddle over medium-high heat for 3–4 minutes per side until well-browned. Set aside.

3. Assemble the Patty Melts

Butter one side of each slice of Texas toast. Place four slices butter-side down on a griddle.
Layer in this order:

  • Cheese slice

  • Beef patty

  • Caramelized onions

  • Second cheese slice
    Top with remaining bread, butter-side up.

4. Grill to Perfection

Cook over medium heat 3–4 minutes per side until bread is golden and cheese is melted.

5. Rest & Serve

Let patty melts rest 1–2 minutes before slicing.

Pro Tips for the Best Texas Patty Melt

  • Low and slow onions = big flavor

  • Thin patties cook evenly and fit the bread

  • Cheese on both sides helps “glue” the sandwich

  • Medium heat prevents burned bread

Flavor Variations

  • Texas BBQ Melt: Add BBQ sauce and cheddar

  • Spicy Texas Melt: Add jalapeños or pepper jack

  • Steakhouse Style: Use Swiss cheese and rye bread

  • Mushroom Patty Melt: Add sautéed mushrooms

What to Serve with Texas Patty Melts

  • Crispy fries or seasoned wedges

  • Onion rings

  • Pickles

  • Coleslaw

  • Milkshakes or iced tea

Storage & Reheating

  • Refrigerate: Up to 2 days

  • Reheat: Skillet or oven at 350°F (175°C) for best texture

  • Avoid microwave to keep bread crispy
