Portabella Beef Patty Melts Recipes

Steps:

• Caramelize onions. Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet set over high heat. When it foams, add the onions and sprinkle with salt. Do not stir immediately. Wait 1 minute, then begin to stir frequently over high heat for 5 minutes or so, or until the onions have released some liquid and started to become translucent.
• Reduce the heat to medium, and cook, stirring often, for what will seem like a very long time, until the onions are fully melted and dark golden brown, approximately 30 to 40 minutes. Remove onions, and set them and the skillet aside. (You can caramelize the onions a day ahead of time and reheat slowly when you're ready to cook.)
• Take a small baking dish, and put into it olive oil, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar and minced clove of garlic. Add portobello caps, then cover with foil, and roast in a 400-degree oven for 30 to 45 minutes, turning once.
• Set the skillet to medium heat, and put four pieces of rye bread into the butter that remains from cooking the onions. Top each piece with a slice of cheese, then two portobello caps, then some of the caramelized onions, and finally another slice of cheese and another slice of rye. Use the spatula to press down on the packages, and after about a minute or so, carefully turn over each patty to begin to brown the other side. (You may need to add the additional butter.) Cook until the cheese is fully melted and the bread is golden brown and crisp on both sides. Slice in half before serving.

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.

Steps:

• 1. Cook veggie burger according to package directions. Top hot burger with cheese slice. Let stand for 1 minute or until cheese melts.
• 2. Meanwhile, in small nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray, cook sliced mushroom and onion rings over medium-low heat about 5 minutes or until tender, stirring frequently. Stir in steak sauce.
• 3. Serve burger topped with mushroom mixture between bread pieces.

Steps:

• Position rack in upper third of oven and preheat broiler. Line a broiler pan with foil.
• Knead together beef, breadcrumbs, Worscestershire, thyme, salt and pepper.
• Remove gills from portobellos and discard. Dice portobellos, then gently fold them into the beef mixture.
• Shape into 6-8 patties and place on the foil-lined broiler pan. Broil 6-8" from heatsource until cooked through, about 4-6 minutes per side.
• While meat is broiling, toast bread slices. Rub each slice of toast on one side with peeled garlic.
• Once meat is done, arrange cooked patties on bottom toast slice, top with 1 tbsp of relish, then cover with slice of swiss. Remove foil from broiler pan and place patty melts directly onto the broiler pan.
• Broil until the cheese is just melted, about 1 minute.
• Place patty melts on serving plates and cover with top slice of toast, if preparing "sandwich" style (leave off top slice for lower carb/cal option).
• Serve with condiments if desired (we find the garlic and relish add enough flavor). Serve with a side salad or veggies of your choice.
