Patty Melts

2 tb Vegetable oil
1 Onion, chopped
2 Cloves garlic, minced
2 Eggs
2 lb Lean ground beef
2/3 c Dry bread crumbs
1 ts Salt
1/4 ts Pepper
24 Thin slices rye bread
24 Thin slices Cheddar cheese
1/4 c Olive oil

In skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat; cook onion and garlic, stirring, for 3 to 5 minutes or until softened. Let cool.

In bowl, beat eggs; mix in beef, bread crumbs, salt, pepper and onion mixture. Shape into 12 patties, each 1/2 inch thick.

Cook on greased barbecue grill about 4 inches above medium-hot coals or at medium-high setting for about 5 minutes per side or until no longer pink inside.

Meanwhile, trim crusts from bread. Sandwich each cooked patty between 2 slices of cheese and 2 slices of bread. Brush bread with olive oil and grill sandwiches for 1 to 2 minutes on each side or until cheese just starts to melt. Makes 12 servings.
