Regional dish recipe (Halifax, NS) Donair - A Canadian east-coast specialty Donair Meat: 2 pounds medium ground beef 3 cloves minced garlic ½ cup all-purpose flour 4 tsp sweet paprika 3 tsp dried oregano 2 tsp salt 2 tsp onion powder 1 tsp pepper ¾ tsp cayenne pepper Sweet garlic sauce: 1 can sweetened condensed milk 3/4 tsp garlic powder 1/4 cup white vinegar Additional ingredients: Pita bread (warmed) Finely diced white onion Diced tomato For the meat, mix all spices together and, using your hands, blend with the ground beef and minced garlic. Form into a loaf pan (like you would meatloaf) and cook at 300 degrees for about 2 hours. Cool. Slice thin and heat on the flat-top when ready to eat. To make the sweet garlic sauce, mix all ingredients until thickened. Easiest way is to add everything into a jar, close the lid, and shake until it forms a thick sauce. Wrap the hot, sliced beef in the warm pita. Top with the finely diced white onion, diced tomato and the sweet garlic sauce.
Thank you, I’m glad I’m not the only one who saw a pressed patty melt on sourdough. Still looks delicious, though, and I may have to buy a panini press so I can make one.
If you only knew how much I LOVE your channel! I've learned so many things by watching you and I love how you you break it down so an idiot like me can understand it. Through all of your videos, you have made me a MUCH better cook and now I have many recipes memorized because I've watched them so many times. Thanks once again! So glad I found your channel. Not to mention, I love your personality!
I seriously love that you just make good tasting food. Not gospelling about eating healthier or be kinder to the environemnt. Sometimes, we just need some amazing tasting food. Thanks a bunch dude!
I got my cooking inspiration from you and Andy, the two of you showed me valuable cooking skills and taught me I didn't need to go to culinary school to cook as a hobby
I love using 2 different kinds of cheese for sandwiches… ghost pepper cheese is just a small step up and actually has a bit of spice so I prefer that over pepper Jack now
Back in the early 2000s I was at an abroad program in the Netherlands. They also had ‘toasties’ but the contraption they had to make them was ingenious. It was very much like a regular top-loading toaster, except the wire walls that hold the toast in place separated further apart in the top position so you could fit your two slices of bread, cold cuts, and cheese, then lower it to the cook position and the wire walls move closer together to squeeze the ingredients together. Made many toasties that semester
Buying your cast Iron Flip flattop for my kitchen has seriously been one of the best purchases ive made in a while. That and your knife have become constant tools that i dont know how I lived without.
Back in the 60s and 70s, every diner in the country had Patty Melts on the menu. They were made on the flattop or grill with a cast iron press on top. Always yummy!
Sam, I have to say a big thank you, like you, my husband and myself are Canadian. He was born in Calgary Alberta, and I was born in Guelph Ontario. I was a good old farm boy, and he was from the big city. We both came out later in life, having married and each having sons. We have been together for over 12 years, married almost three. You have been there for us through the good times and the bad. Your spirit was addicting, with covid, you tought us so much. I make my own bread, pizza dough, pasta, sauces, you even taught me how to cook a steak that was perfect every time. One thing that Saunder loved was my pork loin snitzel, the key is to pound it so thin, you can read a paper behind it. I use my french rolling pin as it works the best to making it paper thin. You should try it some time, I even make my own bread crumbs from the day old bread that is always kicking around. Saunder passed away two weeks ago, and once again you are helping me get through this ruff spot, unable to sleep, I turn you on, and you make me feel like Saunder is righ beside me. I can not thank you enough for the happiness that you have brought to our family over the years. Sending you love and light, your friend Bradley Fatt and the late Saunder Van Dijk. Keep up the amazing job!!!
Single guy here. I use my Panini press a couple times a week. Don't have an outdoor grill. It's awesome for sandwiches, steaks, chicken, pork, bacon, kabobs, vegetables. You name it. I'd be lost without it. Great video Mr. Zien. 👍
Love the way this came together can't wait to try it in my cast iron skillet! I can't afford another electronic device for my counter. Running out of storage space! 😀
LOVE IT! Sam did it right! He pronounced HSP as...Haytch SP...just like the Brits would. LMAO. Our Brit cousins do pronounce "H" as "Haytch." Too right!!!
Mexican Lasagna (Can you try) Ingredients: 2lbs ground beef 28oz Tomato sauce 1 cup ea Diced tomatoes and green chillies 1 can red kidney beans 1 cup sliced olives 1 onion diced small 1 large bell pepper diced small 1 1/2c mushrooms diced. Optional 1 Lrg bag Mexican blend cheese 1/3c Taco seasoning split 4- 12" flour Tortillas (2 cut in half) Directions: Cook ground beef and add half of taco seasoning. Combine all other ingredients except tortillas and cheese in large bowl with remaining seasoning. Layer ingredients in 9x13 pan. Start with mixture then cheese and then tortillas (one whole and 2 halves to create layer). Repeat and finish with mixture layer and cheese. Bake in 350° oven for 25-30min.
Hells yes, idk why ive never thought to mayo grain musto the outside of the bread. Fyi, next time you make the mayo, musto blend....add in some instant potato flakes for a crispy french fry flavored crusting. I cant do onions cause i melt and dont wanna smell like balls, so swap the onions for bacon or maybe Reuben blend on mine and gotta have it with tots, fried bacon mac balls, or baked cheesy crispy chedder mac.
@Sniperboy5551 no kiwi or Aussie will ever admit this, but since i have never really considered myself an actual kiwi I don't really care have lived in both countries for over a decade, there are definitely differences if for example you come from Queensland you have more bogan (white trash) accent or a real Māori type accent, but for an average Melbourne accent vs average Auckland accent there is almost no difference, now proceed to see everyone fight me in the comments
You can also do patty melts on the flat top via smash burger technique the heat up a weighted press and press it on the bread and leave it for 2 minutes…. Also delicious!🤤
Agreed! That’s where we first had them, in the coffee houses. We came home making toasties and Amsterdam style coffee every Sunday. Awww the memories 🥰🥰🥰
I wasn't expecting Sam, Andy Cooks, "GB", and a panini grilled cheeseburger, all wrapped in one video, but here we are.
A veritable GB of content!
Andy is from New Zealand but lives in Australia he is also trained in the IUK as a chef
Andy Cooks makes some good stuff, one of the best TH-cam cooking channels out there!
Gang banging toasties.
I think that’s as close to gang banging that Sam’s fans will ever get.
Max, you are weird. This is a cooking channel.

Andy Cooks is a great channel and I love that guy. He is humble and positive and just seems like an overall good person...
Patty melts are delicious

Real patty melts use rye bread 😂

Thank you, I’m glad I’m not the only one who saw a pressed patty melt on sourdough. Still looks delicious, though, and I may have to buy a panini press so I can make one.

Great toastie, by the way !
He sucks.

gb yes
If they were still doing those voiceovers, we wouldn't have witnessed all that wholesome talk!
I got my cooking inspiration from you and Andy, the two of you showed me valuable cooking skills and taught me I didn't need to go to culinary school to cook as a hobby
it makes me laugh every time you ask the boys a question and get crickets. ♥
You leave Andy alone, that man is a kiwi national treasure!!!!
Love ❤ Love❤ Love❤ the great ideas guys! Don & Vickie
So a patty melt on white bread done on a panini press. Still looks great!
It's just a smashed hamburger when it's on white bread 😊
This looks so good!!!! Definitely going to make this!!!! Thank you.
I love using 2 different kinds of cheese for sandwiches… ghost pepper cheese is just a small step up and actually has a bit of spice so I prefer that over pepper Jack now
Andy's the man! He's a BEAST with the meats
Panini presses are awesome tools. The recipes are almost endless ❤

Well that looked fantastic! We love your channel and wish we had your outdoor setup! Another great recipe!! Thanks for sharing!

I was in London and had a very simple ham and cheese toastie and it was absolutely delicious!
Classic Aussie toasty,Ham and cheese or Ham ,cheese and tomato.👍
Looks like a really good patty melt!
Hey I watch you and Andy every time either of you have a show. Andy is a Kiwi who lives in Australia 🇦🇺
grilled cheese burger looks amazing
I don't own or have room for a panini press, but I now have a few ideas for my cast iron!
Love the way you did this!
That's a patty melt in my world! Fantastic!

You guys are the best on TH-cam...
Simple yet delicious
Sandwiches are amazing!
Great recipes an content! Keep it going, can't wait for the next video, yummy!
That looks insanely good. This channel is on a roll ATM.
I had a panini press growing up and we used it every day til it died. They are amazing and under utilized in home kitchens.
Perfect fall sammich! Sourdough is always the way to go!
Looks great, "shwing"!!! I'll be making this, thanks guys.
Andy is from New Zealand but lives in Australia, and Babe and Andy are not married YET as far as I know.
Sam should colab with Andy. He is great
Love the way this came together can't wait to try it in my cast iron skillet! I can't afford another electronic device for my counter. Running out of storage space! 😀
Didn't know my instructional video about making a grilled cheese sandwich would be 12% about gang bangs.
Ok looks great and I am sure it's tasty. So in addition to your mustard and mayo add garlic butter. OMG so good
Looks Super Yummy Sam 🤤😋
LOVE IT! Sam did it right! He pronounced HSP as...Haytch SP...just like the Brits would. LMAO. Our Brit cousins do pronounce "H" as "Haytch." Too right!!!

Wow, this sandwich looks amazing!! I’ve just started loving sautéed onions! Love your channel ❤🎉😊
I don't have a press to make something like this,but it looks really good.
Omg that looks so good !
So happy to be back to the normal format.
That looks delicious😋

Make that exact sandwich with leftover meatloaf!! Delicious!! 😋😮😊
Great to hear you taking about Andy! Being on the Sam & The Boys Toastie! Cheers!
Gang banging food, that's the way to go.
Looks delicious! One other bump up level is to have cheese in the mustard-mayo coating on the outside.
The Phil Silvers of cooking shows!
GB? Hell yes! San Diego Bloods, represent!
Andy is actually a kiwi (New Zealand). Not sure where Basic Mitch is from.
yup he sure is
I know it’s controversial since I have kiwi family, but them and West Aussies sound basically the same to me.

Andy Cooks - Kiwi from New Zealand
Nice sandwich perfect stacked 👍👍
Maybe I'm wrong, but I think Andy is a Kiwi who lives in Australia. Regardless, he rocks and his channel is excellent.
So right before Sam dives into the onion gang bang, his spatula goes "Schwiinnnnngggg!" Party On, Sam
Man that looks good. I might need to make that this weekend.
Sammy the cooking guy got that yummy grilled cheese looking nice .
Looks delicious !
That is freaking awesome. Thanks from across the pond
Looks yum fellas!
I love grilled cheese. Smoked Gouda is realllly good
Andy is kiwi
But he's living in Australia - so like everything, we claim him as ours. 😛
I love this one!!
You can also do patty melts on the flat top via smash burger technique the heat up a weighted press and press it on the bread and leave it for 2 minutes…. Also delicious!🤤
i like your kind of simple meals
GB no, but a hilarious conversation none the less. Pepper jack cheese is the bomb!
Love a good toastie. I use my sandwich press almost every other day
The Panini press is an underutilized kitchen tool. Does great for cooking chicken too
Love toasties. I get my Toastie machine out a few times a year and then forget about it for the rest of the time!
Toasty sounds like something an infant would say.
Sam trying hard to write off a trip to Australia! 🤣😂 It would be great seeing Sam and Andy colab.
The gb panni looks amazing
It's getting cold AF up here in the Midwest. We need a soup/stew series from Sam to get me through it🙏
that looks incredible.
Looks fabulous!
Parmasan cheese crusted would have made my day for sure
Dutch are the toastie kings
Agreed! That’s where we first had them, in the coffee houses. We came home making toasties and Amsterdam style coffee every Sunday. Awww the memories 🥰🥰🥰
I love how this goes from "We're making a toastie!" to "GB Yes or GB No in the comments" at the drop of a hat... 🤣
Looks good as usual Sam
I LOVE patty melts.
