DIRECTIONS

• Prep - SPECIAL SAUCE: Combine the mayonnaise, mustard, relish, ketchup, vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder and paprika in a medium bowl and whisk until well blended. PATTY MELT BURGER: Spray a large griddle or cast-iron skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat. Add the butter and sliced onions and cook, stirring every so often, until the onions have a nice sear to them, 4 to 5 minutes. Set aside.
• Combine -Wipe the griddle clean and return to medium-high heat. Put the plant-based burger patty on the griddle. Spoon about 1 teaspoon mustard (or squeeze directly from the bottle) onto the top side of the patty. Cook burger according to package directions.
• Create - Spread some Special Sauce on each piece of the unbuttered side of bread, then add 1 slice of American cheese, 1 patty, some onions, a second slice of cheese, and top with the additional slice of bread. Return to griddle and cook 2-3 minutes per side, until bread is toasted golden brown and the cheese is melted. Transfer to a cutting board, cut patty melt in half on the diagonal, and serve.
