Have you ever wanted to make the perfect patty melt? Well, if so, then let me tell you that the secret is all in the sauce! Making your own patty melt sauce from scratch with my own version is a breeze.
Ingredients
For the patty melts:
1lb.Ground beef
6Slicesrye bread
½tsp.Onion powder
½tsp.Garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
6Slicescheddar cheese
6Sliced provolone cheese
6Tbsp.Butter softened and unsalted
For the secret sauce:
¼C.Mayonnaise
2Tbsp.Chopped bacon pieces
3Tbsp.Ketchup
1tsp.Sugar
1tsp.Relish
Instructions
Form the meat into 3 flattened patties with roughly the same shape as your bread slices.
Season the meat on both sides with the onion powder, garlic powder and salt and pepper to taste.
Cook the patties over medium high heat on the stove until cooked through. Remove from the pan.
While the meat is cooking, mix together the ingredients for the sauce until well incorporated.
Wipe the skillet used to cook the meat clean and reduce the heat to medium.
Butter one side of each piece of bread well.
Place three pieces of bread buttered side down in the skillet.
Top each slice of bread with 2 slices of provolone cheese, a meat patty and 2 slices of cheddar cheese.
Put a little bit of the sauce on the non-buttered side of the remaining slices of bread, and place them sauce side down on top of the patty melts in the skillet.
Flip the patty melts over once the provolone has melted and the one side of the bread is well toasted.
Toast the other side of the bread well, and then serve.
