Methods:

  1. Prepare the Patties:

  1. Toast the Bread:
  • Wipe off the skillet and lower the heat to medium.
  • Coat each slice of bread with melted butter.
  • Toast three slices of bread in the skillet, buttered side down.
  1. Assemble the Patty Melts:
  • Place two slices of provolone on each slice of toasted bread.
  • Top with a beef patty and two slices of cheddar cheese.
  • Brush a small amount of secret sauce onto the non-buttered side of the remaining bread slices.
  • Place the sauce-side down on top of the patties in the skillet.
  1. Finish Cooking:
  • Once one side of the bread is well toasted and the cheese is melted, flip the patty melts over.
  • Toast the other side of the bread until golden brown.

Tips:

  • Ensure the patties are cooked through before assembling the melts.
  • Adjust the seasoning of the secret sauce according to personal preference.
