Smoked Provolone Bacon Patty Melts with Marsala Mushrooms and Onions

Ingredients

• 4 burger patties

• Salt and pepper

• Worcestershire sauce

• 8 slices bacon, cooked to desired crispness

• 8 slices Smoked Provolone

• 1 tablespoon butter, plus more for the bread

• 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced

• 1 medium onion, sliced

• 1 clove garlic

• 1/2 cup marsala wine

• 8 slices hearty wheat bread

Directions

1. Season burgers with salt and pepper and cook in a large skillet to desired doneness. Add a dash of Worcestershire sauce to each burger, then remove the burgers from the skillet.

2. Add 1 tablespoon butter to the same skillet and let melt, then add mushrooms and onions and saute until mushrooms are browned and onions are softened. Add garlic and salt and pepper to taste; cook and stir for 30 seconds. Add marsala and cook until reduced, scraping the bottom of the skillet to remove any browned bits.

3. Butter one side of each slice of bread. Top the unbuttered side of four slices with a slice of cheese, a burger patty, two pieces of bacon, a quarter of the mushrooms and onions, and another slice of cheese. Add the other four slices of bread to the sandwiches.

4. Preheat a griddle over medium heat. Add sandwiches and cook, flipping once, until each side is browned and crispy.
