What can you do to improve a patty melt? Add that red Frisco sauce! And what is better than a Frisco melt? Nothing--it's pretty much perfection, but if you want a change anyways, this is a good direction to go. This Frisco Melt has a garlic and spicy kick from the sriracha and a mellow sauted mushroom flavor.

I made this recipe with 1/2 pounds of meat in mind but you can go as low as 1/3 pound beef and still follow these directions.

Prep Time5 minsCook Time10 minsTotal Time15 mins

2 tbsp Sriracha sauce

2 tbsp Mayonnaise

2 slices sourdough bread

3 tbsp butter, softened, divided

½ lb ground beef

salt and pepper to taste

2 oz sliced Cremini mushrooms, about 2-4 mushrooms

1 slice Swiss cheese

1 slice American cheese

1

Divide the ground beef into two pieces and smash each one flat with hands until its very thin, about a 5 inch patty. place them on waxed paper then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Store in the fridge for at least an hour until ready to cook.

Prepare the sauce by mixing the mayonnaise and the Sriracha sauce together in a small mixing bowl. Set aside.

2

Toast the bread in a toaster until golden brown, Rub one side of each slice of bread with 1/2 tablespoon softened butter. Put butter sides together and set aside.

3

Heat a large nonstick skillet to medium high. Add the last 2 tablespoons of the butter and melt. When hot add the mushrooms and saute until tender. Lower heat to warm just to keep the mushrooms from getting cold.

4

Add the ground beef patties to the skillet and let cook for one or two minutes then flip over to cook the other side. After a short time and the ground beef is mostly cooked through, flip once more, and add the mushrooms then a slice of Swiss cheese to one patty and an American slice to the other pattie. Cover saute pan to help melt the cheese.

5

Spread Frisco sauce to each buttered-side piece of bread. Stack the patties with the American cheese patty on top then stack on the bottom slice of bread. Cut sandwich diagonal and serve with chips or fries.
