• Put the two pieces together, like a sandwich

 This Burger was Amazing!

Ingredients needed:

1 package of Hamburger, 1-1 1/2 pounds

2-3 slices of cooked bacon per hamburger

Meat loaf seasoning

Worcestershire Pepper to taste
1 to 2 tablespoons of softened butter to the meat.

Garlic Salt to taste
Green onions, sliced

Garlic Ciabatta Bread or Focaccia Bread

and...

Stilton Blue Cheese, sliced!!!
**Stilton Blue Cheese is an English Style Blue Cheese...
more on this cheese at the end of my post.

 Mix together the meat, 1-2 tablespoons of softened butter, meatloaf seasonings, Worcestershire pepper and garlic pepper. Form meat into patties to fit your bread and cook as desired. Sprinkle lightly with garlic salt while meat is cooking.
After the first side cooks...
FLIP the burger and add slices of the Stilton Blue cheese. This allows the cheese to melt for assembling.

We grilled our bread on the stove top. The bread was lightly buttered...doesn't the large hunks of garlic look yummy in that bread! Mmm Mmm Mmmmmmmm... 

Oh MY!!! Can you smell it? It's wonderful...

A Stilton Blue Cheese Burger with Style...

A note about...
Stilton Blue Cheese
Stilton is a farm-made (English -style) cheese made from whole cow's milk and is at its best from autumn to spring. It is allowed to ripen for  4 to 6 months, during which time it is skewered numerous times to encourage the growth of penicillium Roquefort mold (also present in Roquefort cheese). Stilton cheese is best eaten with port or a full bodied dry red wine.

Hearty Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich...

 Hearty Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich

 Hearty Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich

Ingredients:

Ciabatta Bread Rolls, Three Cheese Style, 4 rolls

Roast Beef, Thinly Sliced, 3/4 to 1 pound purchased from the Deli

1 medium yellow onion, sliced thin into strips

Jack Cheese, thin strips...I LOVE cheese...amount as desired

1 orange bell pepper, sliced thin...the orange bell adds wonderful sweet flavor

1-2 packages of classic brown gravy, I used Knorr's brand. Their beef gravy has a full beefy flavor and it thickens nicely. Definitely MY favorite choice!

Water to make the gravy, follow directions on the package.
Butter, softened
Garlic salt and garlic pepper seasonings

Slice the veggies and prepare a frying pan for sauteing.

While veggies are sauteing over medium heat. Slice the cheese.

Have the roast beef ready for assembling the sandwich. Meat can be cold, no need to heat meat before assembly.

Season to your taste the onions and bell pepper. I of course, used my signature spice...Garlic Pepper to season the veggies.  BIG Surprise...huh?

Prepare the Ciabatta Bread with softened butter and garlic salt.

Start layering cheese and meat alternately on the bread. *Add the amount YOU desire. Top with the sauteed Veggie mixture and one last layer of cheese.

Use a toothpick or small skewer to hold the sandwich together.
Pile it High... :0 yum!

Meaty Beef Gravy

Have the gravy ready....Prepare gravy while the veggies are cooking.

Heat the assembled sandwich in the microwave for 1 1/2 minutes on high.
Serve with beef gravy for dipping! NOW, I'm hungry!
Serve with your choice of side dishes to complete.
Or just make TWO sandwiches...lol

This Sandwich has Pine Creek Style...

Enjoy...
