ON THE HUNT FOR THE BEST PATTY MELT RECIPE!!

With our most favorite local burger joint going out of business it has put me on the hunt for the best patty melt recipe! We go to Church on most Saturday nights and enjoy a nice burger out after service. We are so sad to see our favorite burger joint go!

I am going to be trying lots of recipes until I find the perfect one!! I made this recipe last night and it was yummy! The kids enjoyed it a lot and seemed much healthier than the one's in the restaurants! The best part....super fast and easy dinner!! Give it a try! Enjoy!!
