How to Make Bang-Bang Bacon Cheeseburger Crispy Melts
1. Make the Bang-Bang Sauce
In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and honey.
Set aside (flavor gets better as it sits).
2. Cook the Beef
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat.
Cook ground beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until browned.
Drain excess grease.
3. Assemble the Sandwiches
Butter one side of each bread slice.
On the unbuttered side:
- Spread bang-bang sauce
- Add cooked beef
- Add bacon
- Add cheese
- Top with another slice of bread (butter side out)
4. Grill to Crispy Perfection
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Cook sandwiches 3–4 minutes per side, pressing gently, until bread is golden and cheese is fully melted.
5. Rest & Slice
Let rest 1 minute, slice in half, and serve hot.
Tips for the BEST Crispy Melts
- Use medium heat so bread crisps without burning
