---|---|
Mayonnaise | ¼ cup |

Instructions:
- Make the Secret Sauce: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, chopped bacon pieces, ketchup, sugar, and relish. Mix well and set aside.
- Form the Patties: Divide the ground beef into 3 equal portions and form them into flattened patties slightly larger than your bread slices. Season both sides with onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Cook the Patties: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook until browned and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the patties from the skillet and set aside.
- Assemble the Melts: Wipe out the skillet and reduce heat to medium. Butter one side of each bread slice.
- Place 3 buttered bread slices, buttered-side down, in the skillet.
- Top each bread slice with 2 slices of provolone cheese, a cooked patty, and 2 slices of cheddar cheese.
- Spread a generous amount of the secret sauce on the unbuttered side of the remaining bread slices.
- Place the sauced bread slices on top of the patty melts in the skillet, sauce-side down.
- Cook the melts for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the cheese is melted, and the bread is golden brown and crispy.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
