How To Make patty melt special

Step 1

Slice the green pepper and onion into long thin pieces; set aside

Step 2

Slice bacon strips in half and fry to your liking; drain and set aside. Remove some grease from the pan. Let the rest of the grease cool a bit then add sliced vegetables to sauté slowly. Toss in garlic and any seasonings you may like. I only used fine ground black pepper. Set aside.
Step 3

While bacon, then vegetables are cooking, place ground beef in a bowl. Add the egg and onion mix packet. Mix thoroughly and make and fry four patties.
Step 4

Butter back sides of bread slices and use patties, cheese, bacon, and sautéed vegetables to build a sandwich. Grill to you liking and enjoy!!
Step 5

Tip 1: prepping the bacon, vegetables, and uncooked patties one day can save time on making the sandwiches on another day. Tip 2: uncooked patties can be individually wrapped in wax paper and stored in a plastic bag or storage bin.
