Quad Smash Burger

You can change up the classic patty melt sandwich and make Italian Sausage Patty Melts instead. Putting Italian sausage, caramelized onions, and provolone cheese between two slices of Italian bread makes a tasty and filling meal.

Ingredients: 4 Italian sausage patties. 8 slices of Italian bread. 8 slices of provolone cheese. 1 large onion, thinly sliced. 2 tablespoons olive oil. 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar. Salt and pepper to taste. Butter for grilling.

Instructions: Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil to the skillet and saut the onions until caramelized, about 10 minutes. Add balsamic vinegar to the skillet and continue cooking for another 2 minutes. Remove the onions from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, cook the Italian sausage patties until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove the sausage patties from the skillet and set aside. Spread butter on one side of each slice of bread. Place a slice of provolone cheese on the unbuttered side of 4 bread slices. Top each cheese slice with a cooked sausage patty. Divide the caramelized onions evenly among the patties. Top the onions with another slice of provolone cheese. Cover each sandwich with the remaining bread slices, buttered side up. Return the skillet to medium heat and grill the sandwiches until golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 3-4 minutes per side. Serve hot and enjoy!
