I love getting my subscription magazines, not only for the dinner ideas and the new recipes to try, but also for the crafts! I'm going to start incorporating crafts into this blog. Arts and Crafts ideas for the kids, and ideas for the grown ups too!
Family Circle seems to always have great ideas. This recipe is from the October 1, 2011 issue. It was under a collection of recipes for ground beef. In any recipe that calls for ground beef you can always substitute ground turkey, chicken or pork. The flavors of the meal WILL change slightly, so be aware! I loved that I didn't need a panini press to make this meal! I never knew that I could use my George Foreman grill to make paninis! You learn something new every day! These burgers reminded me of a Reuben. The crunchiness of the onions, the Thousand Island dressing, the Rye Bread, it was terrific! And filling!
Makes 4 servings
Ingredients:
ñ 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
ñ 1 large Vidalia or other sweet onion, sliced
ñ 1 lb lean ground beef
ñ 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
ñ ½ tsp garlic powder
ñ ½ tsp dried oregano
ñ ¼ tsp black pepper
ñ 8 slices of seedless rye bread
ñ ¼ pound thinly sliced reduced-fat American cheese (about 8 slices)
ñ ¼ cup light Thousand Island
Directions:
ñ Heat butter in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, 20 minutes.
ñ Meanwhile, combine ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, oregano and pepper in a medium bowl. Shape into 4 patties, trying to mimic the shape of the rye bread.
ñ Heat a panini press or a George Foreman grill to medium hot. Grill beef patties for 3 to 4 minutes. Remove to a plate.
ñ Place 4 slices of rye on a cutting board. Top each with 1 slice of cheese, a beef patty, ½ cup onions, 1 slice of cheese and another slice of bread. Grill 2 sandwiches for 3 minutes, then repeat with remaining 2 sandwiches. Serve with salad dressing on the side.
