@@MrMalicious5 I lived on a boat for a while that only got american slices. The brand they got was not legally even allowed to be called cheese (most brands are like that, actually). I have never much liked the taste, but after that, I refuse to even accept them as food
@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.
As a Cali girl I grew up on these, we ate them on sourdough. My mom always toasted the sandwich in the burger grease with a smidge of butter. This is still one of my favorites to make for my family!
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 .
@@HomeSkillit u can call it "sambamamba" it's a miserable sandwich with hamburger and cheese and the evolution is mc donald, bread with hamburger and cheese.
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.

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.
Hahaha when the food is ready and guga talking before they eat, Angel always looks anxious as hell to eat😂 like “okay guga hurry up and finish yours speech I wanna eat”
@The Barefoot Kid same, used to live in the valley and they had it everywhere. Best grilled cheese ever and amazing for burgers. The secret is to pan fry the bread in mayo.
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👍
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!
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.
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.
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
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!!!
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...
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.
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.
@@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.
Thank you Guga! I done it this way today and it's one of the best "sandwich" I have in my life... (I put some jalapeño chunks into the sauce when I made the second today, wow...😉)
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.
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've done smash burgers before but this just takes it to a whole new level. I'll be cooking up some of these this week. Thanks for all of the videos you produce.
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
Outdoor version for me. Though I must admit I see no reason why it can't be made indoor. Sure it's a bit messy but shield your cooking area and cleanup shouldn't be that bad.

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.
This was just too hilarious. Straight and to the point. Can't wait to try this

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.
Love this! The Patty Melt has always been my go to diner sandwich, but I've never seen a loose meat version of it. I'm going to try it this weekend.
I would consider this a great hangover meal, when you really need something to re-coat those degreased nerve endings.
lmfao this is a im hungry and i want something satisfying meal

Exactly!!
Patty melt.
I seen a video about the chop cheese sandwich. Looked tasty
@@gbae636 well this is literally also what chopped cheese is
Hahaha when the food is ready and guga talking before they eat, Angel always looks anxious as hell to eat😂 like “okay guga hurry up and finish yours speech I wanna eat”
I feel like sourdough bread would also be awesome for this recipe.
@@randyneilson3227 Don't think for this, though. Overpower the mild flavor of the melt. Save the rye for a Reuben.
The frisco melt is normally on sourdough
The processed cheese needs to be ditched though, swiss or many others must be better.
Processed cheese? No such thing in Europe, so I guess Cheddar it is
@The Barefoot Kid same, used to live in the valley and they had it everywhere. Best grilled cheese ever and amazing for burgers. The secret is to pan fry the bread in mayo.
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👍

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.
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.
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
Love making griddle smash burgers. thanks for adding some interesting new flavors And the indoor variety ! Great Job!

@@DJKinney "Healthy'? It was cheap, and contained plastic, and was necessary do to the requirements of the war. It's called rationing.

I see that you like a side of cries with your 1940s sandwich
The korean chili flakes threw me off tho lol
Somehow i doubt they had chili flakes either or onion powder 🤷♀️
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!!!

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.
I would’ve cooked those last ones a little bit longer but to each his own of course. Fantastic video! Deffo subbed.
Got to let those burgers sizzle a bit longer
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!
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.
Thank you Guga! I done it this way today and it's one of the best "sandwich" I have in my life... (I put some jalapeño chunks into the sauce when I made the second today, wow...😉)
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.
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!

Outdoor version for me. Though I must admit I see no reason why it can't be made indoor. Sure it's a bit messy but shield your cooking area and cleanup shouldn't be that bad.
