Patty Melts with Secret Sauce blends classic comfort food with gourmet twists, featuring a crunchy toasted rye, juicy patty, melted cheese, and a unique secret sauce that adds a sweet and spicy flair.
Mix ground beef with onion and garlic powder, then form into patties to match your bread slices. Season well with salt and pepper.
Cook the patties in a medium-high heated skillet until browned and cooked through. Remove and keep warm.
Combine mayonnaise, chopped bacon, ketchup, sugar, and relish in a bowl to prepare the secret sauce.
Butter one side of each bread slice. Place half of the bread slices butter-side down in the skillet, add cheese, a patty, more cheese, and secret sauce, then top with another bread slice butter-side up.
Cook over medium heat until the bread is golden and the cheese has melted, flipping carefully to cook evenly on both sides.
