Easy Patty Melt

June 27, 2017

Grab your lemon-lime phosphates, Cats… we are are sharing a retro favorite today – patty melts!  These ooey, gooey burgers are amazingly delicious and so easy to make!  You can even sing along to Frankie Avalon while wearing your poodle skirt as you make them!  

I love retro and old-school Americana.  I love eating diner food and especially anything Route 66 related.  Grab your frying pan and let’s get going on this American diner classic!  Just don’t forget to toast the bread like I did.
