Ballistic Griddled Pattymelt

[John Solak]

Figured I would try something different breaking in my new griddle.

First thing heated up some waffle fries


Was afraid I might have a grease fire cooking bacon directly over the coals so I cooked the bacon most of the way in the microwave then finished them on the griddle


Made some 1/2 lb burgers using 85/15 beef. Seasoned them with some copycat Fuddruckers seasoning and topped with some salted onions and smashed them into the patty.


Flipped


Sandwich prep. Used 4 different cheeses on my sandwich, Habanero Monterrey Jack, Colby Jack, sharp and mild cheddar. Cleaned up some Hatch chilies I had in the freezer, and bacon.


Grilled up the sandwiches


and plated


Really like the griddle but disappointed with the fit. I had to take the lip off to get it to lay flat. If I want to use them in the future I am going to have to bend the tabs at the end in and grind the tabs at the top to get it to fit correctly.

Wow John, you've got a busy BBQ going, and everything looks amazing

 

[Rich Dahl]

Looks like you had the process down and everything you put on those sandwich's added another flavor level, very nice cook.

 

[Cliff Bartlett]

Looks delicious John. Did Greg get that griddle for you?

I was thinking about making patty melts the other day, you beat me to it, and mine will not be nearly as tasty looking!

 

[Barb D]

Awesome John, you nailed that one out of the ball park.

 

[Cee El]

You can pass me one of those melts, though I'd really rather have the griddle! Great job!

 

[JRAiona]

Those look freaking amazing John.

 

[Robert-R]

Super! I'd need an expandable jaw (like what sharks have) to enjoy that sandwich.
