Buffalo Patty Melts

Buffalo Patty Melts are half burger, half grilled cheese, with buffalo flavor and adorned with delicious caramelized onions. The onions are MANDATORY – it simply will not be the same without them…

I’ve never put much thought into patty melts.

For example, I wouldn’t order a patty melt at Waffle House. But, I’m kinda weird when it comes to certain things at restaurants.

For the most part, I tend to prefer my own cooking, especially chicken.

OMG.

I cannot handle untrimmed chicken – it grosses me out.

Holy Lord. 

As much as I love Chick-Fil-A chicken sandwiches – I have to deconstruct that damn thing to eat it. There’s no way in hell I’ll be sinking my teeth into a nasty piece of chicken ass.

You know what I’m talking about.

That being said, I have no idea why the thought of a patty melt at Waffle House is gross to me – I mean, I eat the hell out of their cheese eggs and raisin toast.

I LOVE their raisin toast, and I have to have extra apple butter, but for some reason, they are so stingy they tend to give me one little packet at a time.

One.

Why.

I just don’t see how hoarding apple butter will benefit you financially, Waffle House.

Don’t you want a tip?

This pretty little thing, however, I would order.

What are Buffalo Patty Melts?

They’re your basic patty melt, but slathered in a combination of mayo and buffalo hot sauce on each piece of bread.

The middle piece of bread is important so you get the patty melt experience with every bite. Slightly crunchy toasted bread, seared burger, caramelized onions, and creamy buffalo sauce

It makes it special.

Trust me on this.

    Looks good! I will have to give the recipe to my husband. He has been into using a new meat grinder attachment he got for Christmas on our kitchen aid mixer and making things with his ground meat. So far we have had some really good grilled burgers and some tasty pork sausage.

    Finally, someone who knows what I am talking about! HaHa. I don’t understand why restaurants don’t cut the “boingy” parts off the chicken breasts. I too will only eat the chicken I can trim at home. Thank you!
