Ultimate Patty Melts Rachael Ray Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 500 degrees F with rack at center. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Gather your ingredients.
• For the patties: Place chicken in large mixing bowl, season with salt and pepper and combine. Make a well in center of the meat and fill with breadcrumbs. Moisten them with milk, add egg and cheese. Peel garlic and grate into bowl. Finely chop parsley and add to bowl. Add fennel, nutmeg and chili flakes, then drizzle in about 3 tablespoons EVOO. Combine meat mixture then score with hand, form 4 large thin patties and arrange on the parchment. Place in oven and roast 12 minutes, remove.
• For the sauce: Meanwhile, heat EVOO, 2 turns of the pan, and butter in a deep skillet or a sauce pot over medium to medium-high heat. Peel and finely chop or grate the onion and let it soften a bit while you peel and chop or thinly slice the garlic. Add garlic to onion, stir a minute. Add paste then vermouth or wine and bring to a bubble. Add tomatoes to sauce and season with chili and oregano. Reduce heat and simmer to thicken a bit.
• To serve: Top the chicken patties with marinara sauce covering all the way to edges. Top the sauce with mozzarella and Parm and place the patties back in oven to brown the cheese.
• Top the patties with basil, parsley and Parm and serve with salami salad.
• Gather your ingredients.
• For the dressing, combine granulated garlic and onion, oregano, parsley, sugar and crushed pepper in a Mason jar or plastic container. Add vinegar, Dijon, 6 tablespoons EVOO, salt and pepper; shake to combine.
• Chop the lettuce and add to a bowl. Halve the salami then slice into 1/4-inch strips and separate as you add to salad. Quarter and core the fennel and thinly slice. Thinly slice the onion. Add the fennel and onion to salad along with cherry pepper rings and drop peppers. Toss with dressing to serve.

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.

Steps:

• Cover 1 side of each bread slice thoroughly and generously with butter; set aside.
• Mix ground beef, pepper, salt, and onion powder together in a bowl until thoroughly combined, but do not overmix or meat will not have the proper consistency after it is cooked. Form 3 patties to fit the shape of the bread.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add patties and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Flip, making sure patties do not break, and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce heat to low, and cook until no longer pink in the centers, about 5 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
• While the burgers are cooking, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, bacon bits, relish, and sugar for sauce in a small bowl. Stir until mayonnaise and ketchup are well binded.
• Heat another large skillet over medium-low heat. Place 1 slice bread in the skillet, buttered-side down. Top with 2 slices Cheddar cheese, a cooked patty, and 2 slices provolone cheese. Spread a thin layer of sauce on the unbuttered side of a second slice of bread, and place sauce-side down on top of provolone. Repeat to make remaining patty melts, working in batches if necessary.
• Cook until bread is lightly toasted and cheese is melted, 2 to 3 minutes per side.

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:

• Heat the milk over moderate heat in a medium pot. Put tomatoes, tomato paste, onions, salt and pepper, sugar, flour, butter, celery into a food processor and grind until smooth. Pour mixture into milk and raise heat to bring soup to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes. While soup cooks, make pesto and sammies.
• Fill the food processor with watercress, loosely packed. Add hazelnuts, 1/2 of the oil and garlic cloves to the watercress in the processor. Add nutmeg, salt and pepper to the processor bowl, set lid in place and pulse grind the mixture into a thick paste. Add any remaining watercress to the processor and grind into the paste by pulsing the processor again. Transfer watercress paste to a bowl. Stir in the remaining oil and the cheese. Taste pesto sauce and adjust seasonings.
• Heat a griddle over medium high heat. Drizzle the pan with extra-virgin olive oil and add the patties and cook 5 minutes on each side. Remove from the griddle and add another tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil and the peppers and onions. Season the peppers and onions and cook until just tender, 5 minutes. Remove them from the griddle. Wipe the griddle clean and reduce heat to medium low. Assemble sandwiches: place 4 slices of bread down, top with 1/4 each of the peppers onions, then a slice of cheese, a cooked sausage patty, another slice of cheese and then place bread on top. Add butter to griddle and cook sammy melts 2 or 3 minutes on each side until golden and cheese is melted. Press with spatula as sammies cook or set another heavy skillet on sammies to weigh them down.
• Pour soup into shallow bowls and add a couple of rounded spoonfuls of pesto to each dish and stir it into the soup. Cut the patty melts corner to corner and dip in the soup as you eat.

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.
