CLASSIC PATTY MELT

A quick, easy, and basic recipe for patty melts. I used Jewish rye bread but any bread will work as long as it's rye. I double the cheese but feel free to use 1 slice per patty melt.

Time 30m

Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound ground beef
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons butter
1 large onion, sliced
6 teaspoons mayonnaise
6 slices rye bread
6 slices sharp Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Season ground beef with salt and pepper and divide into 3 equal-sized balls. Shape each ball as close as possible to the shape of the bread. Make an indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb.
  • Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat and cook onion until soft and translucent, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove from the skillet and divide into 3 equal portions. Place beef patties into the same skillet and cook until desired doneness, 3 to 5 minutes per side.
  • Meanwhile, spread 1 teaspoons mayonnaise on one side of each slice of bread.
  • Place bread mayonnaise side-down in the skillet. Top with 1 slice of cheese, 1 beef patty, 1/3 of the onions, a second slice of cheese, and another slice of bread, mayonnaise side up. Cook bread until golden brown and cheese has started to melt, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip each sandwich over and cook an additional 3 to 4 minutes.

TEXAS GREEN CHILI

This recipe has been posted for play in Culinary Quest - Texas recipe by Thomas Byers.

Categories     Pork

Time 8h20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 lb boneless pork loin cut into one inch cubes.
6 Tbsp bacon drippings or oil
2 c yellow onion diced up fine.
3 Tbsp southwest chipotle powder.
2 Tbsp minced fresh garlic.
3 ( 10 ounce cans ) green chilies.
1 10 ounce can spicy tomatoes with green chilies.
3 c white potatoes diced small.
two thirds cup all purpose flour
10 c chicken broth

Steps:

  • 1. Brown your pork cubes in a tablespoon of the bacon drippings until the pork is brown on all sides. Remove the browned pork cubes with a slotted spoon so you leave any drippings in the pan.
  • 2. Add the remaining bacon drippings and your onions and garlic to the pan and cook until the onion and garlic are cooked soft but not brown.
  • 3. Use a spoon to remove the garlic and onions. If you don't have four tablespoons of drippings left in the pan add enough vegetable oil to make four tablespoons of oil in the pan.
  • 4. Now you will need a wire whisk. Add your flour to the pan and stir with the wire whisk all the time. You want your flour to brown to the color of a old copper penny. Stir all the time so your roux does not burn. If it happens to burn you'll have to start with a new pan and four tablespoons of oil and add fresh flour again. Once it is brown set it off the fire.
  • 5. Now you'll need at least a six quart crock pot or slow cooker. Add all the ingredients but four cups of chicken broth and the roux to your crock pot.
  • 6. Turn the crock pot on high. Pour the chicken broth into the cooled pan where you have the roux and use the wire whisk to mix it together very well. Now pour the mixed roux into the crock pot with your other ingredients and stir to mix very well together.
  • 7. Put the lid on the crock pot and cook for eight hours. Here your going to end up with a perfectly cooked chili. Please follow the instructions carefully and you'll have one of the best pots of chili that you'll ever taste in your life.
  • 8. Serve your chili in bowls over big squares of cornbread and offer sides like sliced jalapenos, pinto beans, diced onions, your favorite shredded cheese, sour cream and guacamole. With these sides served over cornbread your going to have a Texas Chili Feast.

Provided by Sena Wilson

Categories     Chili

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 18

3 Tbsp bacon drippings
3 lb ground sirloin or beef chuck meat
2 - 6 oz cans tomato paste
1 - 14.5 oz beef broth or beef stock
1 large onion, chopped
1 small can(s) green chilies (optional)
1 - 10 oz rotel original diced tomatoes and green chilies
1- 8 oz rotel zesty tomato and green chili sauce (or tomato sauce of choice)
1 Tbsp chopped garlic
1 tsp oregano
1 Tbsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp dried basil
salt and black pepper to taste
3 1/2 Tbsp gebhardt chili powder
1/8 tsp hot paprika (optional)
3/4 c water, plus as needed for adjusted thickness
pinch of cayenne (ground red pepper) - optional
grated cheddar cheese or monterrey jack cheese

Steps:

  • 1. Heat drippings in heavy large pot over medium heat. Brown meat in drippings, adding chopped onions and garlic.
  • 2. Combine oregano, cumin, basil, salt, pepper, chili power, and paprika. Add to meat mixture.
  • 3. Stir in tomato paste, beef broth, Rotel, tomato sauce, water, and green chilies (if preferred). To adjust hotness to taste, you can add Cayenne for extra "punch". Bring to a boil, then lower heat and simmer, uncovered, for 1 to 2 hours to allow flavors to blend well. Add water as needed if chili becomes too thick for your preference. Note: The chili really is best if cooked for 2 hours for flavors to develop.
  • 4. Serve chili topped with grated cheese and more chopped onions. Approximately serves 4 - 6 people.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the final dish will be. Use fresh, flavorful vegetables, and high-quality ground beef.
  • Don't overcook the beef: The beef should be cooked just until it is no longer pink in the center. Overcooking will make the meat tough and dry.
  • Use a good quality bread: The bread should be sturdy enough to hold up to the fillings, but not so thick that it overwhelms the sandwich.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment: There are many different ways to make a patty melt. Feel free to add or remove ingredients to suit your own taste.

Conclusion:

The Texas Green Chili Patty Melt is a delicious and hearty sandwich that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. It is made with simple ingredients that are easy to find, and it can be customized to suit your own taste. Whether you like it mild or spicy, with or without cheese, the Texas Green Chili Patty Melt is sure to be a hit.
