# What You'll Need:
→ The Sandwich Setup
01 -
6 slices of Provolone cheese
02 -
6 slices of cheddar cheese
03 -
6 slices of rye bread
04 -
6 tablespoons of softened butter
→ For the Beef Mixture
05 -
1 pound of ground beef
06 -
1/4 teaspoon of onion powder
07 -
1/2 teaspoon of sea salt
08 -
3/4 teaspoon of black pepper
→ The Tasty Sauce
09 -
1 teaspoon of sweet relish
10 -
1 teaspoon of sugar
11 -
2 tablespoons of ketchup
12 -
3 tablespoons of mayo
13 -
1 tablespoon of bacon bits
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Grab the rye bread slices and coat one side of each with butter. Put them aside for now.
02 -
Combine the ground beef, salt, pepper, and onion powder in a bowl, then mix well. Shape into three patties, sizing them to fit your bread shape.
03 -
Warm a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the patties for 2-3 minutes each side. Lower the heat and let them cook another 5 minutes, making sure they hit 160°F (71°C) inside.
04 -
In a small bowl, mix together mayo, ketchup, bacon bits, sweet relish, and sugar, stirring until smooth.
05 -
Heat another skillet over medium-low. Place bread butter-side down in the pan, add two slices of cheddar, a cooked patty, and two slices of Provolone. Spread the sauce on the plain side of another bread slice and press it sauce-side down on top.
06 -
Cook each sandwich for 2-3 minutes on both sides so the cheese melts and the bread gets crispy. Repeat the process for the other sandwiches.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Check the patty temperature with a thermometer to confirm it reaches 160°F.
02 -
The sauce has a sweet-tangy taste that resembles thousand island dressing.
03 -
Rye bread is classic, but sourdough is a great alternative.
