I’ve made Patty Melts for over 36 years at my Diner. I hear all this all the time. “Love your Patty Melts!” Course it’s on a huge indoor flattop. I Use Swiss or American on the sliced bread up to guests. It comes on Seeded Rye for Swiss and Country White with American. Carmelized onions are Major. When a guests says no onions, and no sauce, I tell them it’s not a Patty Melt. haha
On rye with swiss is my favorite , and it's GOT to have carmelized onions . I prefer it with thin patties , when the ratios are just right it's a top shelf sandwich
Long time CA resident. Every patty melt I've ever had was two well done patties on rye with pickles,grilled onions, and cheese. Then grilled after assembly.
The original patty melt recipe called for red onions and swiss cheese, salt and pepper, two well done ground beef patties on rye. No pickles or the other stuff he added. He didn't do a legitimate version of the 1940s patty melt at all.
@GoldenState I've eaten hundreds of them in California and never once got one with swiss on it, odd. I take it you've only had them at the same few restaurants? I've literally had them at 50 or 60 different places and except for maybe 2 that used Cheddar they were always American cheese.
Yup. I've had abomination that claim to be patty melts (like sourdough and American cheese), but a proper patty melt is rye and Swiss. Not saying the others aren't delicious, but they're not patty melts.
My version is made with Swiss cheese and rye bread. You fry seasoned hamburger patties on the griddle or in frying pan. With some of the grease from the hamburger still on the grill, throw on a piece of bread, top with cheese, caramelized onions, hamburger, caramelized onions, cheese, then another slice of bread. Fry on both sides until bread is brown and cheese is melted. It works great with sourdough, too.
@The94GTC it works because mayo is just oil and egg. you can also use it to coat fried stuff as well, its even better than pure beaten eggs for deepfried.
In the first minute I'm already not paying attention to the burger anymore and instead focusing on the Guga Foods narrator's cadence and the way he pronounces "sandwisssssssh." Very cool.
The _Patty Melt_ has been my favorite sandwich for as long as I can remember; some 50+ years now. I had my first PM in a road side diner between Detroit and Cheyenne in the mid 60s. It' still my favorite.
Yup. I worked at a truckstop diner in the northwest in high school and probably made at least 30 of these a day. And the owner of the place found a sneaky loophole to keep his smoking section for a long time after the law was passed against it. So I got the full experience you are talking about lol. Although, I have always seen them made with swiss cheese not cheddar.
My Mom was born in Southern California. So was I and my kids. We grew up with Patty Melts. They are the BOMB! The caramelized onions are the trick, once you get that down, they are easy. Thanks for the memory of Mom and her wonderful patty melts.
I love Patty Melts but have never replicated the iconic taste at home. Made the inside one for breakfast (couldn't wait until lunch) & I wasn't disappointed. Great taste! Didn't fall apart like a Sloppy Joe, ground meat & cheese in every bite. I am delighted to have found this recipe. Thank you so very much .
These are a family recipe that I've been eating since I was a kid. We make them a bit different though. We use a hamburger patty topped with grilled onions. For the bread we use sourdough rye instead. We grill the rye like a grilled cheese, then open the face of the sandwich and put the burger with the grilled onions inside. Then close the sandwich and grill to desired crispness.

I can't believe I missed this video when it came out! I always make my pattie melts with swiss cheese and I add fresh caramelized baby bella mushrooms. So I guess you can call it a mushroom onion 'n swiss pattie melt. What could be better? I'll tell you! It's the addition of bacon and freshly chopped jalapeno.
@@danielhall6578 If you caramelize your onions - which you almost always should... Get them translucent and turning a real caramel color, and then toss in your diced jalapenos and cook till they're tender and browning. That way you're not biting into crunchy hard bits of raw chile. Texture is the conductor of flavor. Always remember that onions must be cooked first before you add any other vegetable. The water in the onion has to be cooked out before it will caramelize. Sprinkle salt on the onions to help draw the water out more quickly. Adding vegetables before onions caramelize just adds water, which you're trying to eliminate from the onions to caramelize. They won't caramelize unless you do it right. And when you really want to make cooking easier. Start chopping and preparing your ingredients first, and have them in their own little bowls. It's called mise en place. Which is French for everything's in their place and ready. This will help you keep from screwing things up or burning something while your chopping something else.
@@DeltathRiylaan Mushrooms work with anything - soup, sandwiches/burgers, regular dishes, anything. They don't taste like much, but i really enjoy their texture
@@lred1383 Many types of mushroom have loads of flavor, but they're still not part of the recipe of what's on a classic patty melt, which was all I was saying.
My Father, who was born in Los Angeles 1921, introduced me to my first Patty Melt in 1965, this recipe is very true to the ones of that era and the ones I still make to this day.....only exception, is Rye Bread is a Must!!!
My husband saw it and kept asking until I made it. We didn't have the worcestershire sauce but I added a pinch of paprika bc why not. Turned out really good! Thanks!
Steak 'n Shake. They've had a patty melt on the menu since the 30's. I've never had one, I'm a dedicated burger man, but I might try your recipe one day.
Patty Melt has been my favorite since I 1st tried on in a diner when I was 15yrs old... I've only ever had it on rye bread though & love toasted rye bread...
Incorrect. I've lived in NY my whole life, and NEVER have I heard that term before, in ANY context. Fake news my man. It's called a patty melt anywhere I've ever been
Steak and cheese, double cheeseburger, 1940s sandwich, Big Mac. Doesn’t matter, if it has beef and cheese surrounded by bread, it is the American staple.
This vid left my mouth watering🤤i'm gonna try it at home. Also the way you explain the recipe and the making process is really clear and easy to follow. I just subscribed to your channel👍
@@logicthought25 I once tried this old school method called "36 eggs a day" challenge, where I literally ate 36 eggs a day. It is a highly ketogenic diet that excludes carbs, with regular vegetables being the only exception. And I did include the yoke. So I did not lack any cholesterol. And guess what? Eating all those eggs had me slim down very fast, while at the same time I somehow grew stronger. The only downside were the bathroom breaks. I eventually quit when I felt my heart began to ache. So yeah. Too much of anything really is bad for you.
Back when I was the chef at a greasy spoon burger joint we made these Caraway seeds and using the smash burger method. They were some of our best selling sandwiches.
@@88KeysIdaho no, we didn’t use rye bread at first because all our bread and buns were made in house and took up a lot of time and space so to supplement the flavor we toasted the bread on the grill with the seeds sprinkled over the butter alongside the meat and onions.
They're commonly patties because it's just simpler to make and less messy. Most are made just like a grilled cheese, so you patty the burger and cook it, toss it between bread and put it back in, flip it once and it's done - no fuss. The beef fat serves as the butter/mayo. It's a self-solving problem. Ironically the loose ground beef is the "fancy" way.
It's traditionally done with swiss in most places and was originally made with swiss, but yes, cheddar and American are used sometimes. He made a Guga Melt.
Thanks guga in a time where its been actually fairly difficult to continue to feed my self and especially the rest of the family ive been searching for simple recipes this is exactly what i was looking for another meal ready to be made
Granted, I was introduced to the Patty Melt through the fine Texas establishment of What-A-Burger, but I've sampled many different forms of the patty melt and this looks to be the ultimate tribute to the classic style of my all-time favorite sandwich. Excellent cooking, you've gained another sub!
I don't care, I am actually gonna go make this now, this looks way too good for me not to make it... and it's affordable UPDATE: made it and oh my god it is definitely worth it, tastes absolutely amazing
This man can make cooking anything interesting, I’ve sat here for 6 hrs binge watching every video he has made and I don’t even cook😂 that’s how good he is at what he does. Awesome job Sir
Joshua Weissman did a comparative study on toasting bread with butter versus mayo. His conclusion, which I have tested myself, is that mayo works and delivers great color, but must be used very sparingly and spread very evenly, and completely, or is will result in soggy bread. I find that the center of the bread is always softer and mushier with mayo. Butter, on the other hand, is more forgiving and generally results in a crispier texture. I have used mayo on grilled cheese since I was a child, but I have to admit that Weissman was right on this one. All that said, though, these sandwiches look spectacular. No one touches Guga when it comes to preparing actual -food- meat.
This sandwich is FIRE! 😎

@@danielhall6578 If you caramelize your onions - which you almost always should... Get them translucent and turning a real caramel color, and then toss in your diced jalapenos and cook till they're tender and browning. That way you're not biting into crunchy hard bits of raw chile. Texture is the conductor of flavor.
Always remember that onions must be cooked first before you add any other vegetable. The water in the onion has to be cooked out before it will caramelize. Sprinkle salt on the onions to help draw the water out more quickly.
Adding vegetables before onions caramelize just adds water, which you're trying to eliminate from the onions to caramelize. They won't caramelize unless you do it right.
And when you really want to make cooking easier. Start chopping and preparing your ingredients first, and have them in their own little bowls. It's called mise en place. Which is French for everything's in their place and ready.
This will help you keep from screwing things up or burning something while your chopping something else.

@@MercurialIris a joke doesnt imply anything smartass it's just making irony on how this isn't healthy
This was just too hilarious. Straight and to the point. Can't wait to try this
Both versions look amazing! I wish there were still some greasy spoons around that served stuff like this 😋
I can’t lie, the indoor version actually looks better than the outdoor version lol
Agreed. Outdoor version is way too wet. Also, I love a good patty melt and I definitely prefer the recommended swiss.
@@DeltathRiylaan Swiss AND mushrooms.
@@Hongobogologomo I love mushrooms, but they're not part of a classic patty melt.
@@DeltathRiylaan Mushrooms work with anything - soup, sandwiches/burgers, regular dishes, anything. They don't taste like much, but i really enjoy their texture
@@lred1383 Many types of mushroom have loads of flavor, but they're still not part of the recipe of what's on a classic patty melt, which was all I was saying.
My Father, who was born in Los Angeles 1921, introduced me to my first Patty Melt in 1965, this recipe is very true to the ones of that era and the ones I still make to this day.....only exception, is Rye Bread is a Must!!!
My husband saw it and kept asking until I made it. We didn't have the worcestershire sauce but I added a pinch of paprika bc why not. Turned out really good! Thanks!
Always served with a fully charged defibrillator on standby
This looks EXACTLY how good American food should.
But instead we gets a McDouble that looks like it was ran over by a semi-truck

Steak 'n Shake. They've had a patty melt on the menu since the 30's. I've never had one, I'm a dedicated burger man, but I might try your recipe one day.
That Fresco Melt from SnS is truly a timeless classic. Shame on you, go get one now sir!
Looks delicious and beautiful! Thank you very much for sharing! 👍👍👍
Patty Melt has been my favorite since I 1st tried on in a diner when I was 15yrs old... I've only ever had it on rye bread though & love toasted rye bread...
Seeing guga comment “it’s fire” makes me wonder about what else guga calls “fire” lol
Angel accidentally let the slang slip in a previous vid. You could see the regret when guga started using it.

You know hes only using it to poke fun at his kids/nephew that probably started using it lol thats how dads are
Oh you know...FIRE
Me: Trying to figure out what to make for dinner with the 2 pounds of ground beef in my fridge.
Guga: You are making patty melts.
I'm dying for one! Do you do deliveries? Just kidding. I'm going to go and get everything to make one, or a dozen. Love your show!
If you haven't tried it on rye bread, I highly recommend it, it's the bread my grandma always uses on her patty melts
In NYC this is called a "chopped cheese"
Imma need a loosie too, chopped cheese and a loosie
I was looking for this comment!!
I wondered if the inside one wasn't a loose meat sandwich, I have heard of them but never had one.
I thought a chopped cheese was served on a hero🤷🏻♂️
Incorrect. I've lived in NY my whole life, and NEVER have I heard that term before, in ANY context. Fake news my man. It's called a patty melt anywhere I've ever been
Every time he finishes a sentence I think, “Okay, the video is over.”
Then he talks again! 😂😂
This is basically a Frisco Melt. They sell them at Steak N Shake.
Are they good
Yes!!! Steak n Shake FTW!!!!
@@TylerEubank they're amazing. Skip a meal because it's a calorie bomb

I made this 1940s Sandwich!
Cook: makes a double cheeseburger.
Steak and cheese, double cheeseburger, 1940s sandwich, Big Mac. Doesn’t matter, if it has beef and cheese surrounded by bread, it is the American staple.
ground beef grilled cheese w/onions mmm.
Looks more like a Patty Melt.
bruh youre a clown, you don't know what you're talking about
Gotta have the grilled onions to make it a patty melt.
That makes all the difference.
Great video! Thanks for sharing.
This vid left my mouth watering🤤i'm gonna try it at home. Also the way you explain the recipe and the making process is really clear and easy to follow. I just subscribed to your channel👍
I've watched pretty much all of your videos and none of them have made me as hungry as this one did, i really gotta give this one a try for myself
My cholesterol is rising just looking at that sandwich ... And I still want it.
@@logicthought25 I once tried this old school method called "36 eggs a day" challenge, where I literally ate 36 eggs a day. It is a highly ketogenic diet that excludes carbs, with regular vegetables being the only exception. And I did include the yoke. So I did not lack any cholesterol. And guess what? Eating all those eggs had me slim down very fast, while at the same time I somehow grew stronger. The only downside were the bathroom breaks. I eventually quit when I felt my heart began to ache. So yeah. Too much of anything really is bad for you.
Back when I was the chef at a greasy spoon burger joint we made these Caraway seeds and using the smash burger method. They were some of our best selling sandwiches.
Caraway is often found in Rye Bread, too. Did you use Rye Bread?
@@88KeysIdaho no, we didn’t use rye bread at first because all our bread and buns were made in house and took up a lot of time and space so to supplement the flavor we toasted the bread on the grill with the seeds sprinkled over the butter alongside the meat and onions.
@@GrizzlyTank Ah. That sounds good, too.
Every Patty Melt I've seen for 50+ years is a patty (hence the name), grilled onions, usually American or cheddar cheese, on toasted rye.
Yea what this guy made wasn’t a patty melt lol
Cheddar does not melt as well...
@@jeffsmith2022 Yeah, but some places think they are being fancy by using cheddar. I think they are wrong, but...
They're commonly patties because it's just simpler to make and less messy. Most are made just like a grilled cheese, so you patty the burger and cook it, toss it between bread and put it back in, flip it once and it's done - no fuss. The beef fat serves as the butter/mayo. It's a self-solving problem. Ironically the loose ground beef is the "fancy" way.
It's traditionally done with swiss in most places and was originally made with swiss, but yes, cheddar and American are used sometimes. He made a Guga Melt.

Thanks guga in a time where its been actually fairly difficult to continue to feed my self and especially the rest of the family ive been searching for simple recipes this is exactly what i was looking for another meal ready to be made
The only thing left to do is to make this video trending.
Let's dewwww it
Granted, I was introduced to the Patty Melt through the fine Texas establishment of What-A-Burger, but I've sampled many different forms of the patty melt and this looks to be the ultimate tribute to the classic style of my all-time favorite sandwich.
Excellent cooking, you've gained another sub!
The Water-burger patty melt is the bomb!

Guga is now starting to sound like a teen using "fire" as a term
cheesy boi he said “oh everybody says fire now? Ok I’ll say fire” in his last video or something I think
Y’all about 20 odd years late on the term fire 🤦🏽♂️ these teens did not create the term fire 👌🏽

Like first, watch after. LET'S DEEEW EEEET
Joshua Weissman did a comparative study on toasting bread with butter versus mayo. His conclusion, which I have tested myself, is that mayo works and delivers great color, but must be used very sparingly and spread very evenly, and completely, or is will result in soggy bread. I find that the center of the bread is always softer and mushier with mayo. Butter, on the other hand, is more forgiving and generally results in a crispier texture. I have used mayo on grilled cheese since I was a child, but I have to admit that Weissman was right on this one.
All that said, though, these sandwiches look spectacular. No one touches Guga when it comes to preparing actual -food- meat.
