There is something to be said about comfort food. It warms you up on cold, rainy days and it brings with it some of the most exciting flavors you can experience in food. The Patty Melt is no exception. A mix between a Burger and a grilled cheese sandwich, the Patty Melt features a Burger patty (or ground beef) smashed between grilled bread and cheese.
We put together a recipe for this American classic with our friends at Martin’s Potato Rolls. It’s guaranteed to warm you up and comfort you even on the rainiest of days!

- salt & pepper (to taste)
- 1. Season Schweid & Sons The Prime Burger* patties with salt and pepper.
