Next, shape it into a patty.1 Teaspoons Kosher Salt, 1 Teaspoons Black Pepper, 1 Tablespoons Garlic Powder, 1 Tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce, 1 Pound Ground Beef
- Cook the patty on the preheated skillet or griddle until it reaches your desired level of doneness. This usually takes around 4-5 minutes per side for medium.
- While the patty is cooking, melt some butter in another skillet over medium-low heat. Add the sliced onions and water to the skillet and sauté them until they become soft and caramelized approximately 10-15 minutes.1/2 Stick Butter, Thick Bread, 1/2 Cup Water, 1 Large Sweet Onion
- Once the patty is cooked, transfer it to a plate and wipe the skillet clean. Spread butter on one side of each slice of bread.
- Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, on the skillet and top it with the cooked patty and bacon. Add a slice of cheese on top of the patty and then spoon some sautéed onions on top of the cheese.6 to 8 Slices Swiss Cheese, 4 to 6 Slices Bacon

Notes
Tips
- Type of Ground beef- The best type of ground beef to get when cooking Waffle House patty melts is 80/20. That’s 80 percent lean and 20 percent fat. This will help with creating a juicy burger!
- Medium Rare- I do believe that medium rare is the best way to enjoy a patty melt. This is done by making sure the internal temperature has reached between 130 to 135 degrees.
- Bread- It is imperative that you choose thicker bread when creating this patty melt. Using thinly sliced bread or easily torn bread will make the meal less enjoyable.
