What’s even better than having an actor and a boy band member in the family? A chef, of course! The Wahlberg family has Mark and Donnie, but people don’t realize is their brother Paul owns the Boston eatery Wahlburgers and has a killer Patty Melt sandwich on the menu. How killer is this sandwich you ask? So killer People.com featured it this week as a must-do for Memorial Day.
This recipe will need to make the menu this weekend and trust me… you’ll thank me later for it! 😉

- Cook onions in hot oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat 10 to 15 minutes or until onions are caramel-colored. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat; set aside.
- Shape beef into 2 patties. Season with salt and pepper. Grill patties over medium-high heat for 5 minutes, turning once. Remove from heat. Top evenly with onions and bacon. Keep warm.
- Brush both sides of bread slices with melted butter. Cook bread in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat 2 to 3 minutes or until golden. As bread cooks, top each piece with 3 cheese slices.
