Back to the grind. Isn't Monday night Italian night? Or was that Wednesday? Anyhow, I decided it would be tonight in our house. These were quite good. Made sweet potato chips and an Italian salad to round out the meal. I made 5 out of this recipe instead of 4 for kid size portions and our sitter who eats with us on Monday nights.
Italian Patty Melts:
1 egg
1/2 c. spaghetti sauce (Newman's Sockarooni... every time)
a few T. seasoned breadcrumbs
1 lb. ground beef
a few T. butter, melted, mixed with some basil and garlic salt
sliced Italian bread
1/2 c. shredded mozzarella
Combine egg, half the sauce and breadcrumbs with the beef until desired burger consistency. Form it into 4 (I did 5) flat rectangle patties. Brush melted butter on each side of the bread. I used my grill pan to crisp it up a bit. Then put the patties in the hot grill pan for 4 minutes per side. Top burgers with remaining sauce and mozzarella, let it melt. Serve on the toasted bread. (I had mine open-faced and enjoyed it, the rest of the gang had it true patty-melt style)
