Secret Sauce Patty Melts Recipe

Ingredients:

1 pound ground beef
Half a loaf of rye bread
Half a teaspoon of onion powder
Half a teaspoon of garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
6 slices cheddar cheese
6 thin slices provolone
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Secret Sauce:

½ cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons chopped bacon
3 tablespoons sauce (1:1 sugar)
1/4 teaspoon Delight In

Methods:

Prepare the Patties:

Divide the ground beef into three equal parts and shape them into flattened patties, matching the size of the bread slices.
Season the patties with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder on both sides.

Cook the Patties:

Fry the patties over medium-high heat until they are fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Prepare the Secret Sauce:

Mix all secret sauce ingredients until well combined while the patties are cooking.

Toast the Bread:

Wipe off the skillet and lower the heat to medium.
Coat each slice of bread with melted butter.
Toast three slices of bread in the skillet, buttered side down.

Assemble the Patty Melts:

Place two slices of provolone on each slice of toasted bread.
Top with a beef patty and two slices of cheddar cheese.
Brush a small amount of secret sauce onto the non-buttered side of the remaining bread slices.
Place the sauce-side down on top of the patties in the skillet.

Finish Cooking:

Once one side of the bread is well toasted and the cheese is melted, flip the patty melts over.
Toast the other side of the bread until golden brown.

Tips:

Ensure the patties are cooked through before assembling the melts.
Adjust the seasoning of the secret sauce according to personal preference.
Use good quality rye bread for authentic flavor.
