PATTY MELTS WITH SECRET SAUCE

Patty Melts with a secret sauce is a compelling twist to this classic recipe. This patty is made with well- seasoned lean ground beef patties sandwiched between slices of buttered whole or rye bread, along with the melty duo of mild Cheddar and Provolone cheeses. Each sandwich is loaded with a secret sauce, which is a savory blend of crispy bacon, sweet relish, mayo, ketchup, and sugar that elevates the flavor profile. Versatile enough to shine as a main course, these patty melts offer a satisfying and easy- to-prepare option for busy weeknights or laid-back gatherings.
