“I’ve been making these for years and people lose their mind over them every time. They seem like a special homemade treat, but even my 10 year old can make them by herself

These patty melts combine juicy ground beef patties, melty cheese, and a tangy secret sauce for a delicious and satisfying meal.

Here’s a breakdown of the ingredients and instructions:

Ingredients:

For the Patty Melts:

Instructions:

1. Make the Secret Sauce: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, chopped bacon pieces, ketchup, sugar, and relish. Mix well and set aside.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Assemble the Melts: Wipe out the skillet and reduce heat to medium. Butter one side of each bread slice.
5. Place 3 buttered bread slices, buttered-side down, in the skillet.
6. Top each bread slice with 2 slices of provolone cheese, a cooked patty, and 2 slices of cheddar cheese.
7. Spread a generous amount of the secret sauce on the unbuttered side of the remaining bread slices.
8. Place the sauced bread slices on top of the patty melts in the skillet, sauce-side down.
9. Cook the melts for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the cheese is melted, and the bread is golden brown and crispy.
10. Serve immediately and enjoy!
