Ultimate Patty Melts Rachael Ray Recipes

PATTY MELTS

Steps:

• In a medium skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium-low heat. Throw in the sliced onions and cook slowly until the onions are golden brown and soft, 20 to 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• In a medium bowl, mix together the ground beef, Worcestershire and some salt and pepper. Form into 4 patties.
• Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a separate skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties on both sides until totally done in the middle.
• Assemble the patty melts this way: Slice of bread, slice of cheese, hamburger patty, a quarter of the cooked onions, another slice of cheese and another slice of bread.
• On a clean griddle or in a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter and grill the sandwiches until golden brown. Remove the sandwiches and add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter to the skillet. Return the sandwiches to the skillet, flipping them to the other side. Cook until golden brown and crisp, and until the cheese is melted. Slice in half and serve immediately!

ULTIMATE PATTY MELTS - RACHAEL RAY

Steps:

• Place a medium skillet over medium-high heat with about 1 tablespoon olive oil.
• Add the onion to the pan and cook until tender, 4-5 minutes.
• Remove to a large mixing bowl and wipe the pan clean.
• When the onions have cooled slightly, place the pan back over medium-high heat with about 2 tablespoons olive oil.
• To the mixing bowl with the onions, add the sirloin, Worcestershire, some salt and pepper and mix thoroughly to combine.
• Divide the meat into 4 portions and shape into 4 thin burgers.
• Add the patties to the hot pan and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 4 minutes per side.
• While the burgers are cooking, butter up one side of each slice of bread then flip them over and spread mustard on each.
• When the burgers have finished cooking, make stacks by laying down the slices of white bread, butter side-down, and top them with a slice of cheese, a patty, another slice of cheese, 2 slices of bacon and tomato and another slice of bread (butter side-up).
• Wipe out the pan that the burgers were cooked in and return it over medium heat.
• Add the stacks to the pan and cook until the bread is toasted golden brown and the cheese has melted, 2-3 minutes per side.

GARLICKY PATTY MELTS WITH PROVOLONE

Steps:

• Heat a griddle or cast iron pan over medium-high heat.
• Combine the meat, chile pepper, garlic, rosemary, parsley, salt, pepper, and a little extra-virgin olive oil. Form into 6 thin patties. Drizzle the patties with a little more oil and fry on the hot griddle for 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove from the heat.
• Lightly butter the bread. Build the patty melts, layering the bread (buttered sides facing out) with 1 slice of cheese, a few leaves of arugula, the patty, a second slice of cheese, and finally another slice of bread. Cook the patties on the griddle to melt the cheese, 2 minutes on each side. Cut the patty melts from corner to corner and serve immediately.
