Instructions

Form the Meat Patties:
Divide ground beef into three equal portions and shape into flattened patties, sized to fit your bread.

Season the Meat:
Sprinkle each side of the patties with onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

Cook the Patties:
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties until fully cooked through. Remove and set aside.

Prepare the Secret Sauce:
In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, bacon, ketchup, sugar, and relish until well blended.

Assemble the Patty Melts:

Wipe the skillet and reduce heat to medium.

Butter one side of each bread slice.

Place three slices buttered-side down in the skillet.

Layer each with a slice of provolone, a beef patty, and a slice of cheddar.

Add the Secret Sauce:
Spread sauce on the unbuttered side of the remaining slices and place them sauce-side down over each sandwich.

Toast and Serve:
Grill each sandwich until the bottom is golden brown, flip, and toast the other side. Serve hot.

Enjoy this crispy, cheesy, meaty delight that’s sure to satisfy any comfort food craving!
