Patty Melts with Secret Sauce

by Rebecca May 29, 2020
written by Rebecca

Melt sandwiches are the best! Easy to put together, and quick to make. This recipe uses the classic combination of ground beef patty, caramelized onions (I’m obsessed), and cheese. The secret sauce gives this sandwich that creamy, and flavorful balance that perfectly compliments the sandwich. Just make sure to not overcook the patties, as this makes the sandwich juicy and gives it more flavor. This quickly becomes my family’s favorite; my kids love it, and I’m crazy about it. Unlike other melt sandwiches, this is not overwhelming, but plain delicious!

Ingredients

1½ pounds ground beef

2 teaspoons of Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon of kosher salt

½ teaspoon of ground black pepper

12 slices sourdough bread

½ cup of Secret Sauce

3 medium Vidalia onions, thinly sliced

6 slices Cheddar cheese

8 tablespoons of unsalted butter

How to make Patty Melts with Secret Sauce

Step 1: Combine the ground beef, Worcestershire, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Mix until incorporated.

Step 2: Shape the ground beef mixture into 6 oval patties.

Step 3: Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a medium cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Cook the onion and stir occasionally for about 35 minutes until soft and golden brown.

Step 4: Place the patties in a large iron skillet and cook them over medium-high heat for 2 minutes on each side or until browned and cooked through. Then, remove the patties from the skillet.

Step 5: Meanwhile, layer 1 slice of bread with 1 tablespoon of secret sauce, 2-3 tablespoons of caramelized onion, 1 slice of cheese, 1 patty, and top with another 1 tablespoon of secret sauce. Grab 1 slice of bread, place it on top, and repeat the process for the remaining bread and patties.

Step 6: Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the sandwiches in batches for about 3 minutes on each side. Flip once until golden brown and heated through. Add the remaining butter to the skillet if needed. Serve immediately. Enjoy!

Polish Sausage Sauerkraut & Potatoes – Crockpot

by Rebecca May 29, 2020
written by Rebecca

Today, I’ve planned to treat myself for all the hard work. I really wanted to go out shopping and eat out. But the weather is on my side, it’s raining all afternoon makes me want to just hide under my blanket. Ah, too lazy to even move a muscle. I’ve been working all week, and I felt that I needed a break from all the hustle and bustle. Well, today is not the day. Might as well just go to the kitchen and cook.

An hour later, I’ve found some potatoes, polish sausages, and sauerkraut – so I am making myself a Polish Sausage Sauerkraut & Potatoes. I guess I’ll have a decent meal tonight after all. I seldom make this dish, most of the time I only make this if I have some friends coming over. But today, I think I deserve this. This is pretty easy to make. Just toss everything into the crockpot and let the crockpot do all the work. It’s so comforting, fulfilling, and hands-down delicious. And it is always a 5 star, definitely a keeper.

INGREDIENTS

2 (14-ounce) cans sauerkraut, undrained

6 potatoes, peeled and cut into large chunks

1/3 cup of brown sugar

1 cup of water

1 pound Polish sausage, cut into chunks

1 1/2 teaspoons of caraway seeds

2 bay leaves

1/2 teaspoon of pepper

How to make Polish Sausage Sauerkraut & Potatoes

Step 1: Put the sauerkraut and potatoes into the slow cooker.

Step 2: Add in the spices, brown sugar, and water.

Step 3: Then, stir in the sausage chunks.

Step 4: Cook on high for 4 hours. Adjust the low and cook for another 6 hours until the potatoes are tender.

Tip:

If you prefer you can use pork chops, too. Just combine the ingredients except for the potatoes and pork chops. When the sauerkraut mixture is made, you can then layer in the potatoes and chops.

Grandpa’s Classic Coney Sauce

by Rebecca May 29, 2020
written by Rebecca

This is the classic coney sauce, not chili! I’ve been looking for this recipe for a long time, and finally found the perfect Coney recipe that everyone is craving especially during game nights. This is absolutely amazing, easy to put together, and truly delightful.

One day, a friend messaged me and asked if I can host the biggest game night we’ve had, and of course, I said yes. So, like many other game nights, I almost settled for the usual. Then, my husband suggested why not serve a Coney instead of chili dogs? Then, I remembered we were just talking about the classic coney sauce we’ve had years before and why I never tied to make it. I didn’t want to disappoint so I checked for the recipe online and found this. Glad I did because this is easy to follow, although, I modified it a bit (added a little bit of ketchup and Worcestershire) it is still is amazing. Everyone enjoyed it, complimented my classic coney sauce, and even asked for the recipe! This truly is a great replacement for chili dogs, and my new recipe to go to.

Ingredients

2 pounds ground beef

½ cup of chopped onion

1 ½ cups of ketchup

¼ cup of white sugar

¼ cup of white vinegar

¼ cup of prepared yellow mustard

½ teaspoon of celery seed

¾ teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce

½ teaspoon of ground black pepper

¾ teaspoon of salt

How to make Grandpa’s Classic Coney Sauce

Step 1: In a skillet, cook the ground beef and onion over medium-high heat. Cook and stir to crumble, and until the beef is browned. Drain any excess fat.

Step 2: Transfer the beef and onion into a slow cooker. Then, stir in the ketchup, sugar, vinegar, and mustard. Season with celery seed, Worcestershire sauce, pepper, and salt.

Step 3: Simmer on low for a few hours, covered.

Old Fashioned Salmon Patties

by Rebecca May 29, 2020
written by Rebecca

What I love most about traveling is I get to see the world and eat. Well, mostly eat. I’ve been to many countries and adapted a lot of dishes, those that struck my taste buds. One of the many is this Salmon Patties. I first tasted it when we visited Seattle. It’s unusual but the good kind of unusual. I mean I’m not used to seafood patties so I never thought that I would love it. Preparing it from scratch though is heavy work; first, we are required to cook the salmon, then flaking the salmon, then adding the remaining ingredients to turn the salmon into a salmon patty, then, cooking it again. Plus, fresh salmon needs spending. It’s too much if you know what I mean; the cost, the preparation. So instead of going through a lot of hassle, I used canned salmon to turn this fancy old-fashioned salmon patties into an any-night healthy meal. And it’s equally great so kudos to canned salmon. It’s tender, creamy on the inside, crisp outside, and to spice things up you can add garlic powder, onion powder, and Cayenne for that Southern touch.

Ingredients

6 oz. can skinless/boneless pink salmon, drained

2 tablespoons diced onion

good pinch each of salt and pepper

1 large egg

1 tablespoon buttermilk

2 tablespoons cornmeal

4 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Vegetable oil for frying

How to make Old Fashioned Salmon Patties

Step 1: Combine the salmon, onion, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix in the egg, buttermilk, cornmeal, and flour. Combine until incorporated.

Step 2: In a medium-sized iron skillet, heat about 1/4 inch of oil over medium heat. When the oil is heated, drop spoonfuls of the salmon mixture and flatten them out.

Step 3: Fry in batches. Cook the patties for a minute on each side or until golden brown.

Step 4: Drain the patties on a paper sack or paper towel-lined plate (this recipe makes 10 servings). Serve immediately. Enjoy!

Crock-Pot Brown Sugar & Balsamic–Glazed Pork Tenderloin

by Rebecca May 29, 2020
written by Rebecca

This is one of those crockpot recipes that I love. The roast is tender, perfectly cooked, and the brown sugar and balsamic glaze is thick, sweet-salty, you could put it on anything! I am crazy with crockpot because it’s like opening a gift, you’ll be surprised every time a dish comes out of it. This pork tenderloin takes time to cook but that’s a great deal for a busy mom like me. I get to prepare dinner and do my everyday mommy duties at the same time. And this beauty is decent enough to serve on gatherings, the most requested dish actually.

Ingredients

1 teaspoon of ground sage

1/2 teaspoon of salt

1/4 teaspoon of pepper

1 garlic clove, crushed

1/2 cup of water

2 pounds pork tenderloin

1/2 cup of brown sugar

1 tablespoon of cornstarch

1/4 cup of balsamic vinegar

1/2 cup of water

2 tablespoons of soy sauce

How to make Crock-Pot Brown Sugar & Balsamic–Glazed Pork Tenderloin

Step 1: Mix the sage, salt, pepper, and garlic. Then rub it over the tenderloin.

Step 2: In a slow cooker, place a half cup of water, then put in the tenderloin and cook for 6 to 8 hours on low.

Step 3: Meanwhile, for the glaze, mix the brown sugar, cornstarch, balsamic vinegar, water, and soy sauce in a small saucepan. Heat for about 4 minutes over medium heat while stirring continuously until the mixture thickened.

Step 4: On the last hour of cooking the tenderloin, brush the roast with glaze 2 to 3 times.

Step 5: If you want to have a more caramelized crust, remove the roast from the crockpot, place it on the aluminum lined sheet pan, and glaze again before setting under the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes until bubbly and caramelized. Repeat the same process 2 to 3 times until you achieve your desired crust.

Step 6: Serve the roast with the remaining glaze on the side and enjoy!
