5 Ingredients and 3 Pans for 1 Dinner

This is one of my favorite go-to meals when I have time to do the extra dishes it requires.  That means we don't eat this one very often which is probably just as well given all the tasty calories that it packs.

Ingredients:
  • hamburger patties
  • sliced cheddar cheese
  • 1-2 onions, sliced
  • butter
  • Rye bread

On a griddle, cook the hamburger patties until juices run clear.  I like to use garlic salt and pepper for flavoring.  Place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty.

On an adjacent burner, sauté sliced onion in butter until translucent. Turn off the burner.


While all that is going on, butter the outsides of an even number of slices of bread, 2 per patty.

Assembly:  On another griddle or shallow frying pan, place one slice of bread butter down.  Put a patty on the bread.  Cover with onions and top with a second slice of bread.  Grill until both sides are lightly browned.
Enjoy with a fresh salad or a bowl of soup.



This is a meal that I prepare fresh, however, I plan for it in my monthly menu and purchase the patties and bread ahead and freeze them until cooking day.
