BEST GRILLED CHEESE EVER



Best Grilled Cheese Ever image

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 poblano or Anaheim chiles (or you may use canned whole green chiles)
1/4 cup white vinegar
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
8 slices rye bread
12 slices provolone
2 ripe tomatoes, sliced
8 slices Cheddar
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened

Steps:

  • Begin by roasting the chiles over the flame on your stovetop (or under the broiler) until the skin is totally blackened (if using fresh). When the chiles are totally charred, throw them into a plastic bag. Seal and allow them to steam and cool.
  • Next, pour the white vinegar over the sliced red onion and let them sit awhile. This'll take away a little of the crazy onion flavor and leave them with a nice sweetness.
  • Finally, make the special sauce: equal amounts of mayonnaise and Dijon. It's the simple things in life!
  • When you're ready to make the sandwiches, scrape the blackened skin off the chiles. Scrape out the seeds, too, so you'll wind up with big pieces of roasted green chiles.
  • For each sandwich, generously spread 2 pieces of rye bread with the special sauce. Lay on 2 slices of provolone, 2 slices of tomato, 2 slices of Cheddar... a nice layer of roasted green chiles... a few red onion slices... and one more slice of provolone just to hold it all together.
  • Top with the other slice of bread and spread the outsides with a good amount of butter.
  • Toast the sandwich in a skillet over medium-low heat until the cheese is thoroughly melted inside. Be careful not to burn the bread!

1 pound 85% lean ground beef

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon Montreal-style steak seasoning

GREEN CHILE CHEESEBURGER DELUXE



Green Chile Cheeseburger Deluxe image

In New Mexico, where many traditional dishes contain roasted green chiles, it's only natural that hamburgers get the chile treatment, too. If you don't have access to fresh New Mexican green chiles, try fresh Anaheim chiles. Lacking those, use roasted jalapeños that have been peeled and chopped; thinly sliced raw jalapeños; or pickled jalapeños - a compromise perhaps, but better than no chiles at all. As for cheese, any good melting kind of "queso amarillo" will do, but domestic Monterey Jack or Muenster may be even better.

Categories     dinner, lunch, burgers, main course

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 medium white onion, diced small, soaked in ice water 10 minutes and drained
2 medium firm-ripe tomatoes or 6 plum tomatoes, diced
Salt, to taste
1 Serrano chile, finely chopped
Handful of chopped cilantro
4 to 6 fresh New Mexico green or Anaheim chiles
24 ounces ground beef or ground buffalo meat
Salt and pepper
8 slices Monterey Jack or Muenster
4 hamburger buns, lightly toasted
1 or 2 avocados, in thick slices

Steps:

  • Make the salsa: In a medium bowl, mix together onion, tomato, salt, Serrano chile and cilantro. This salsa tastes best when it's fresh, so don't set aside for too long.
  • Prepare a charcoal barbecue or light the broiler. When hot, roast the chiles.
  • Place chiles on a rack very close to the glowing coals, or on a baking sheet quite close to broiler flames. Using tongs, turn chiles occasionally until they are completely black and blistered all over. Alternatively, roast over stovetop flames. Set roasted chiles aside for a few minutes until cool enough to handle.
  • Cut each chile in half lengthwise, then scrape away skins and seeds with a pairing knife. Do not rinse: A few bits of char are fine. Wipe chile "fillets" with a paper towel if you wish. Slice cleaned chiles lengthwise into 1/2-inch strips and set aside. (It's fine to roast chiles in advance, even a day or two ahead.)
  • Divide ground meat into 6-ounce balls, and press them into 3/4-inch-thick patties. Season patties on both sides with salt and pepper.
  • If grilling over coals, cook burgers over brisk heat, about 3 minutes per side for medium-rare. Add sliced cheese when the burger's juices start appearing. Move burgers to a cooler spot on the grill and let cheese continue to melt.
  • If cooking on stovetop, heat a cast-iron pan or ridged grill pan over high heat. When hot, cook burgers over brisk heat, about 3 minutes per side for medium-rare. Add sliced cheese when the burger juices start appearing. Turn off heat and let cheese continue to melt, or place pan under broiler.
  • Place a cheeseburger on the bottom half of each bun. Adorn each burger generously with strips of roasted chile. Top the burgers with buns and serve immediately, accompanied by avocado slices and tomato salsa.

GREEN CHILI AND CHEESE CHICKEN



Green Chili and Cheese Chicken image

This is a super-easy weeknight recipe with Mexican flair. Server with Spanish rice, refried beans, and warm tortillas!

Provided by MELISSAINNOVA

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Latin American     Mexican

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 ½ cups shredded pepperjack cheese
1 (4 ounce) can diced green chile peppers, drained
1 tablespoon dry fajita seasoning

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat a 9 inch square baking dish (or similar size) with cooking spray.
  • Make a deep cut into the side of each chicken breast half to form a pocket or 'purse'. Stuff 1/4 cup of cheese and about 1 tablespoon of the chilies onto each one. Close, and secure with a toothpick so that the cheese does not escape while in the oven. Place the stuffed chicken into the baking dish. Season with Fajita seasoning, and then sprinkle the remaining cheese and chilies over the top.
  • Bake uncovered for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until the chicken juices run clear, and cheese is melted and lightly browned.

Tips:

  • Choose a sturdy bread that can hold up to the fillings and the grilling process. Sourdough, French bread, or a hearty whole wheat bread are all good options.
  • Use a generous amount of butter or oil when grilling the sandwich to prevent the bread from sticking and to create a golden brown crust.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of cheese. A classic cheddar and Monterey Jack combination is always a winner, but you could also try a sharp cheddar, a creamy brie, or a tangy goat cheese.
  • Add your favorite toppings to the sandwich. Sliced avocado, roasted red peppers, jalapeños, or bacon are all great options.
  • Serve the sandwich immediately with your favorite sides. A simple green salad, a bowl of tomato soup, or a side of chips are all great choices.

Conclusion:

A green chile grilled cheese melt is a delicious and easy-to-make sandwich that is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. With its gooey melted cheese, flavorful green chiles, and golden brown crust, this sandwich is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a satisfying and comforting meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
