Slider - Grilled Texas Toast Patty Melt Sliders

Post by Chowhound »

texas-patty-melt-sliders-118-1440x900.jpg
2 lb ground beef (preferably 80% fat or more)
1 x pack Texas Toast with garlic
1/2 white onion, chopped
2 jalapeno peppers, seeded & chopped
8 slices of American cheese
salt

Heat a grill to medium heat (350-450f). You will need one side of the grill to be a flat top. If you do not have this attachment or grilling surface, you can place a large skillet or griddle directly onto your grill. Divide the beef into 8 portions. Form each portion of beef into patties. To fit the shape of the toast, fashion them into "flat football" shapes. Press your thumb into the top of each patty to stop it rising during cooking. Season with salt. Combine peppers and onions in a bowl, and sprinkle with a little salt to season. Prepare the Texas Toast, cheese, peppers, onions and beef on a tray to take to your grill - you want all the ingredients ready as cooking will move quickly. The toast does not need to be defrosted - it's ready to place straight on the grill from the packaging. Start by char grilling the peppers and onions on the flat side of the grill. Cook 3-5 minutes until softened and browned. Move to the edge of the grill so they do not burn. Place the patties onto the flat top/griddle and press gently with a spatula. Leave to cook 3-4 minutes. Flip the patties to continue cooking the other side (a further 3-4 minutes), and lay the toast pieces onto the grate section of the grill. Turn the bread pieces every 30 seconds to prevent burning until a nice crust is formed, about 3-4 minutes total. Once the pattys have cooked for 6-8 minutes total, lay the cheese directly on top, and allow to melt. Assemble the sliders. Start with the grilled Texas toast, then layer with a cheese covered patty, and spoon a generous amount of the char grilled onions & jalapenos on top. Repeat until all sliders are formed then serve immediately.
