- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon real bacon bits

Instructions
- Heat skillet over medium heat. Form ground beef into patties, season with black pepper, sea salt, and onion powder.
- Place patties on the hot skillet, cooking each side until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- In another part of the skillet, melt some butter and add sliced onions, sautéing until caramelized and soft.
- Remove patties and onions from heat. Spread a mix of mayonnaise, ketchup, bacon bits, sweet relish, and white sugar on one side of each rye bread slice.
- On the uncoated side, place cheddar and provolone cheese, cooked beef patty, and caramelized onions. Top with another slice of bread.
- Grill each sandwich in the skillet until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted. Serve warm.
Notes

- Allow onions to caramelize slowly for deep flavor.
