The Whataburger Patty Melt is a beloved classic known for its juicy beef patties, melted cheese, and flavorful sauce, all sandwiched between thick slices of Texas toast
In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, ketchup, garlic powder, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well and set aside.
Cook the Onions:
In a skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are caramelized and golden brown, about 10-15 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Prepare the Patties:
In a large bowl, season the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Divide the beef into four equal portions and shape each into a patty.
In the same skillet over medium-high heat, melt the remaining tablespoon of butter. Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are cooked to your desired level of doneness. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Assemble the Sandwiches:
Toast the Texas toast or bread slices in a toaster or in the oven until they are golden brown.
Spread a layer of the creamy pepper sauce on each slice of toast.
Place a slice of American cheese and a slice of Monterey Jack cheese on four of the slices.
Top with a beef patty and some of the caramelized onions.
Place the remaining toast slices on top to complete the sandwiches.
Grill the Sandwiches:
In the same skillet over medium heat, grill each sandwich for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until the bread is crispy and the cheese is melted.
Notes
For a spicier sauce, add a dash of hot sauce or a pinch of cayenne pepper.
