Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds 80% lean ground beef
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 large cloves garlic, grated or pasted
- 2 to 3 tablespoons grated onion
- Kosher salt and coarse black pepper
- A drizzle of olive oil
- 8 slices hand-cut pumpernickel bread
- Softened butter
- 3 tablespoons Sriracha
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 3 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
- 3 tablespoons minced chives
- 8 slices ripe heirloom or beefsteak tomato
- 8 slices yellow sharp cheddar or 4 slices each cheddar and yellow American
- Blue potato chips, for serving
- Garlic, spicy or whiskey-sour pickle halves, for serving
Preparation
Combine the beef with Worcestershire, garlic, onion, salt, pepper and olive oil. Form 4 patties about 5 inches in diameter that are thinner at center and thicker at edges for even cooking.
Heat a griddle to medium-high. Cook patties 3-4 minutes on each side, remove to plate and wipe griddle clean.
Serve patty melts with blue potato chips and pickles.
