Gourmet Onion Mushroom And Mozzarella Burger On Rye Bread Recipes

WORLD'S GREATEST MUSHROOM-ONION BURGERS

Steps:

• In a large, heavy skillet, melt butter or margarine.
• Cook onions over medium-low heat until golden brown.
• Add the mushrooms and continue cooking until mushrooms are tender.
• Let sit until cool enough to handle.
• In a large bowl, mix the sirloin, salt, pepper, steak sauce, and onion-mushroom mixture.
• Form into 5 burgers.
• In same skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
• Dredge burgers in flour and cook until desired doneness, turning once.
• Add cheese (if desired) and melt atop burger.
• Top with a dollop of sour cream.

MUSHROOM CHEESE BREAD

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese, mushrooms, mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese and onion. Cut bread in half lengthwise; spread cheese mixture over cut sides. , Grill, covered, over indirect heat or broil 4 in. from the heat until lightly browned, 5-10 minutes. Slice and serve warm.

THE ULTIMATE PATTY MELT BURGER

Steps:

• Cut the bacon strips in half. Fry to preferred doneness (I like mine moderately soft).
• Fry onions in a little butter over medium to medium-high heat until cooked and browned.
• Fry mushrooms in butter or bacon grease until nicely cooked and a little browned.
• Form ground sirloin into 6, slightly oval patties. Fry or grill to preferred doneness (I like medium-well).
• While patties are cooking, make 6 sandwiches of rye bread and cheese. Butter the outsides and cook like a normal grilled-cheese sandwich -- in restaurant-speak this is a "set-up".
• When set-ups are ready them pry them open and set them on the individual plates.
• Put cooked patties on one side of the set-up. Top with bacon strips, onions, and mushrooms.
• Close sandwiches, pin with frilly toothpicks, and cut in half.
• Offer mayonnaise and/or mustard (preferably brown or Dijon), at the table.
• I prefer to offer coleslaw (try Recipe #209944 ), or a green salad but really crisp french fries and a pickle on the side are customary.
