Instructions

Part 1: Preparing the Beef and Dressing

  • Divide the one-pound portion of ground meat into three equal sections. Press and shape each section into a thin patty, ensuring the dimensions closely match your slices of bread.
  • Season both faces of the formed meat patties with the dehydrated onion, granulated garlic, fine salt, and black pepper.
  • In a small mixing vessel, thoroughly incorporate all components for the signature house dressing: the creamy salad dressing, cured pork belly bits, tomato condiment, cane sweetener, and cucumber relish. Set this mixture aside.

Part 2: Cooking and Assembly

  • Heat a heavy skillet or frying pan over a medium-high setting. Place the seasoned patties into the hot pan and cook until they are done to your liking. Once finished, remove the cooked meat from the skillet.
  • Clean the skillet used for the beef, wiping out any residual grease. Return the pan to the burner and decrease the heat to a medium setting.
  • Using the softened dairy, evenly coat one exterior face of all six bread slices.
  • Place three of the buttered bread slices into the skillet with the buttered side facing down.
  • On top of each bread slice in the pan, layer two slices of provolone cheese, followed by one cooked beef patty, and finally two slices of cheddar cheese.
  • Apply a small amount of the prepared signature sauce onto the unbuttered side of the three remaining bread slices.
  • Place these sauce-coated slices on top of the assembled sandwiches, with the dressing facing down toward the cheddar.
  • Allow the sandwich to cook until the bottom slice is perfectly toasted and golden. Once toasted, carefully turn the entire sandwich over using a sturdy spatula.
  • Continue to toast the second side until it achieves a crisp texture and all internal cheeses are completely melted and gooey. Serve the griddle-seared beef melts immediately.
