Description
Ditch the basic grilled cheese—this Patty Melt is your new obsession! Juicy beef, two kinds of melty cheese, and a smoky bacon sauce griddled in buttery rye bread until golden. It’s diner-level deliciousness in 20 minutes flat. Napkins mandatory!
Instructions
1️⃣ Cook the Patties
-
Divide beef into two thin patties (¼” thick). Season both sides.
-
Cook in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-4 mins per side. Set aside.
2️⃣ Make the Sauce
-
Mix mayo, ketchup, bacon bits, relish, and sugar in a bowl.
3️⃣ Assemble
-
Butter one side of each bread slice.
-
On unbuttered sides: Spread sauce → cheddar → patty → provolone → top bread (buttered side up).
4️⃣ Griddle to Perfection
-
Cook sandwiches in skillet 3-4 mins per side until golden. Press lightly with a spatula.
-
Rest 2 mins before slicing.
Notes
✔ Press patties thin for maximum crispiness.
✔ Room-temp cheese melts faster!
✔ Double the sauce for fries/burgers later.
