Patty-Melts

It's only fitting that the first recipe post is for what Alex and I call "Patty-Melts", because we make them every Monday night without fail.

In case you're curious, they're cheeseburgers. But they are the best cheeseburgers on the planet and have spoiled us completely for any other burger. Anywhere. Ever.

1 lb hamburger
1/2 raw onion, chopped
1 tablespoon Diana barbeque sauce
4 slices of processed cheese

Mix the hamburger, onion and Diana sauce together. Separate and make into 4 1/4 lb patties. Cook in an already hot cast iron frying pan 7 minutes per side (add the cheese slices during the last few minutes on the second side so it melts all over the top and sides of the burgers...hence the name "Patty-Melts"). Serve on toasted hamburger buns. Garnish as desired.

If you want, you can make smaller burgers (and more of them), however the cooking time will be different. We had to experiment a bit to figure out the exact perfect time for the 1/4 lb burgers, so if you make smaller burgers, you'll have to experiment yourself to find out the perfect cooking time for them.
