patty melt low carb cheesy double patties
This is a low carb version of the classic patty melt with a couple of fantastic hacks...the addition of beefy onion soup mix and minced onion, with Velveeta cheese on a low carb toasted nut bread is unbelievably yummy. Substitute the low carb bread with rye toast for a traditional patty melt.

Ingredients
- 1/2 pound ground chuck
- 1/4 cup beef stock

How To Make patty melt low carb cheesy double patties
-
Step 1Place ground chuck in bowl.
-
Step 2Add beef stock to measuring cup and pour dry minced onions into cup to absorb liquid.
-
Step 3After about 5 minutes, when the minced onions have absorbed the beef stock, pour over the ground chuck, add the beefy onion soup mix to the meat and mix well by hand. The flavor that the beef stock/minced onion/soup mix add will blow away your taste buds!
-
Step 4Form the ground chuck into four balls of the same size. Two patties for each melt sandwich will be 1/4 pound.
-
Step 5Warm griddle and add 1/4 cup butter to melt. Meanwhile, toast the bread slices (I like seeded Hero bread which is only 1 carb, but rye bread is the traditional choice), butter, then spread each with a generous amount of mayonnaise (I like Duke's Mayo and kosher whipped & salted butter but any butter or mayo will be fine).
-
Step 6Place patty balls onto buttered griddle and smash the patties. Flip in 2-4 minutes, once they have cooked.
-
Step 7Flip patties and place slices of cheese (Velvetta slices are super gooey but standard American cheese slices are fine) on each one and cover for 2-4 minutes
-
Step 8Stack two patties onto one slice of buttered/mayo'd toast, and the other two patties onto a second slice of buttered/mayo'd toast.
-
Step 9Place remaining buttered/mayo'd toast onto each patty melt, slice in half, and enjoy!!!
