Sourdough Patty Melt

• 1 1/2 pounds hamburger extra lean
• 1/4 cup sauce Country Bob's all purpose
• 2 tablespoons black pepper coarse
• 3 tablespoons chopped garlic
• 2 teaspoons season salt Country Bob's
• swiss cheese sliced
• mayo
• onion grilled
• sourdough bread
• 1/2 pound bacon pepper, ends & pieces
• 2 cups garlic peeled, we add more, but we love garlic
• 2 sweet onions large, rough chopped
• coarse ground black pepper to taste
• mushrooms caps, any kind you like or mix several, optional

1. Using a cast iron skillet, add the bacon and garlic. Place it directly on the grill. The bacon fat will render (melt) providing the moisture for the garlic to cook.
2. The garlic will take awhile depending on how hot your grill is and if you have a "Hot Spot". My hot spot is on the right by the stack on the Traeger. Stir the garlic every now and then to keep from sticking.
3. After an hour or so the garlic should be getting soft. Stir in the onion. I like them just as they are, still a little crisp. About 30 minutes, again depending on your grill.
4. Directions: Patti Melt
5. Mix your meat and seasoning and form your Patties.
6. Put them back in the fridge while the garlic skillet does its thing. The garlic takes a little time to roast and the Patties hold together better if they go on the grill cold.
7. I preheated my iron griddle in the oven at 350 to save grill time.
8. Cooking Directions: Traeger
9. Open the lid and set the dial to "Smoke", after about five minutes shut the lid. Give it about 10 minutes to heat up. Patti has lined the drip pan with foil for me, it makes for easier clean up.
10. Place your garlic skillet directly onto the grill and just let it hang out in the smoke and get happy for 30 minutes or so.
11. After 30 minutes, add the meat and turn the digital control up to 225 degrees. You should have a temperature around 275-300 at the stack or dome thermometer.
12. Just let the garlic and onions go for 1/2 hour. (Stir every now and then)
13. After a 1/2 hour turn the digital control to the 350 and put the "HOT" griddle on the grill. Put the toasted bread on the griddle, get it hot and turn to start building your Patti melt. I put a little mayo on the bread, then the meat.
14. Get some onions from the skillet and stack them on top of the meat, then the sliced Swiss cheese. Press it down a little and let it go for a few minutes before turning it. When the cheese is melted it's "good to go"....
