$4 Diner Style 1/2 Pound Patty Melt Dinner In 30 Minutes
Hey Cookers! This is a $4 diner-style patty melt meal, and it's ooey, gooey and cheesy. I learned to make patty melts working in diners.
Can I cook this Dinner In 30 Minutes?
What's on the plate:
🍋 A half pound patty on marble rye with Swiss cheese and Gouda (a patty melt is not a patty melt without Swiss)
🍋 A heaping layer of sautéed onions. Karen says you can never have too many onions.
🍋 Cottage cheese with fresh ground black pepper and grape tomatoes
🍋 Cucumber slices and a handful of tater chips
🍋 A kosher dill pickle spear, because you got to have a kosher dill pickle spearWhat I do along the way:
🍋 Two onions in butter, cooked down until they're almost perfectly caramelized and sweet
🍋 About a pound of hamburger from a $5.29 a pound pack, split into two half pound patties
🍋 Start With This seasoning: equal amounts of salt, black pepper, garlic powder and onion powder
🍋 Don't work the meat. A little thumbprint in the middle keeps the patty from balling up.
🍋 Butter the rye and toast it on the griddle. A lot of people use mayonnaise instead.
🍋 Two slices of Gouda and two of Swiss on each patty, then the onions go on the SwissThe Swiss is 18 cents a slice, the cottage cheese is about 25 cents' worth, and onions are dirt cheap. You'd pay $14, $15, $16 or more
for this plate at a diner. This is the third time I recorded this one. The first time a camera cut off at three minutes, the second time the audio was all screwed up.I also tell you about our cat Waffles, and about Joe and Eddie's, the greasy spoon in Fort Walton Beach where I cooked breakfast and
lunch for a year.Share this with a friend who loves a good patty melt. Have fun!

Hey Cookers! My mother made a hamburger rice oriental stir fry when I was a kid, and I have never seen it anywhere else. Today I'm cooking it for you in my kitchen. Celery, onion, ground beef, rice, broccoli and zucchini, finished with soy sauce. The timer said 30 minutes and I was done in 25. This recipe is perfect for busy cooks who want a reliable, no-fuss dinner idea.
The beef in this one is my Hamburger Possible: cook five pounds of hamburger at once, freeze it, and dinner starts thawed and ready. The seasoning is my Start With This blend of salt, black pepper, onion powder and garlic powder.
Along the way: Justin Wilson, my zucchini lesson from a Japanese lady named June, why I use day-old rice, and what my mama served this with.
