Method
 

  1. Butter one side of each slice of rye bread and lay them butter-side up on a plate.
  2. In a bowl, mix ground beef with black pepper, sea salt, and onion powder, then shape into patties.
  3. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, cook patties for 2-3 minutes on each side, then reduce heat, cover, and cook until they reach 160°F (71°C).
  4. In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, bacon bits, sweet relish, and sugar to make the sauce.
  5. In a second skillet, place a butter-side down slice of bread, layer with 2 slices of cheddar cheese and a beef patty, then top with 2 slices of Provolone cheese.
  6. On another slice of bread, spread the secret sauce on the unbuttered side, and place it sauce-side down on the sandwich.
  7. Cook for 2-3 minutes until golden brown, then flip and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes.
  8. Remove from skillet, let rest for a minute, slice, and serve immediately.
