I
love the show Diner’s Drive In’s and Dives. The show always makes me hungry even
if I just ate a huge meal.
These
patty melts are totally Diner food.
They
are super quick and they taste AMAZING‼
What
you need,
1
pound lean ground beef
¼
cup yellow onion, finely diced
Salt
and Pepper to taste
1
tbsp. olive oil
½
cup yellow onion, thinly sliced
8
oz. button or cremini mushrooms, sliced
1
½ tsp. all-purpose flour
¼
cup beer or beef stock
8
slices rye bread
4
slices provolone cheese
3
tbsp. softened butter
In
a bowl gently combine the ground beef, diced onion and salt and pepper.
Divide
the meat mixture into 4 portions and shape into oval patties.
In
a large non-stick skillet heat the olive oil over medium high heat.
Cook
the patties for about 4 minutes per side until brown and crisp and the meat is
cooked through.
Remove
the cooked patties to a plate and set aside.
Wipe
out any excess oil from the pan. Add in the sliced onion and mushrooms. Cook for
about 5 minutes until the onions and mushrooms are softened and starting to caramelize.
Sprinkle
the flour over the softened veggies and cook, stirring constantly for 1 minute.
Pour
in the beer or stock and stir until the liquid has thickened, about 2 minutes.
Spoon
the mushrooms and onions into a small bowl and set aside.
Wipe
the skillet clean.
Butter
one side of each slice of the rye bread. Place 4 slices, butter side down in
the skillet over medium high heat.
Top
the bread with a slice of cheese, a beef patty and ¼ of the mushroom onion
mixture. Top each with the second slice of bread, butter side out.
Cook
for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crisp.
Serve
right away.
These
patty melts were ridiculous tasty!
My
in house taste tester said that he would have preferred mozzarella cheese; he
felt the provolone was a bit overpowering. I think any cheese you like would be
great!
