Secret Sauce Patty Melt Recipe Instructions
Shape the meat into three flat patties that are about the size and shape of your bread pieces.
Use the garlic powder, onion powder, and salt and pepper to season the meat on both sides.
Fry the patties until they are no longer pink in the middle, about ten minutes on each side. Take off the heat.
Sauce components should be mixed together and well combined while meat is cooking.
Turn the heat down to medium and wipe out the pan you used to cook the meat.
The bread should be generously butter-coated on one side.
In a pan, place three slices of bread, butter sides down.
Place a beef patty, two pieces of cheddar cheese, two slices of provolone cheese, and two slices of bread on top of each slice.
While the patties are melting in the pan, brush a little amount of sauce over the unsalted side of the other bread pieces and lay them, sauce side down, on the burger.
Once the provolone has melted and one side of the bread is well-toasted, flip the patty so it melts the other way.
Once all sides of the bread are toasted, it’s ready to be served.
