Cajun Patty Melt

We caramelized the Trinity, y’all! This deli classic has a brand new attitude. Ça c’est bon!!

Ingredients

2/3 pound lean ground beef

2 teaspoons Creole seasoning

1 teaspoon olive oil

5 tablespoons butter

1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced

2 stalks celery, halved and thinly sliced lengthwise

1 onion, thinly sliced

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon sugar

1 tablespoon mayonnaise

2-3 dashes of Louisiana hot sauce

4 slices Jewish rye bread

4 slices white American cheese

Instructions

1. Add Creole seasoning to ground beef and form two thin, oblong rectangles slightly larger than the circumference of your bread.

2. Heat a skillet over high heat. Add olive oil and fry patties for 2 minutes per side. Remove patties from skillet, top each with two pieces of cheese, and set aside to rest on a paper towel-lined plate.

3. Melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium low heat. Add sliced bell pepper and celery and sauté for about 5 minutes. Add sliced onion, salt, and sugar, and reduce heat to low. Sauté for another 25 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes. Remove from heat and add mayonnaise and hot sauce. Stir to combine. This is your caramelized Trinity.

4. Place a cheese-topped patty on a slice of bread. Top with half of the caramelized Trinity and another piece of bread. Melt a tablespoon of butter over medium low heat, and grill the sandwich, about 2-3 minutes per side, until golden.

5. Add the last tablespoon of butter to the skillet and grill the second sandwich.
