Ingredients
Scale
Beef Mixture
- 1/2 pound ground beef
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
Sandwich
- 4 slices sandwich bread (white, sourdough, or your favorite)
- 4 slices cheddar or American cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter (softened)
- Optional: ketchup, pickles, sautéed onions, or mustard
Instructions
- Cook the Ground Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess grease and set the beef aside.
- Prepare the Bread: Butter one side of each bread slice. Heat a clean skillet or griddle over medium heat and place 2 slices bread butter-side down.
- Assemble the Sandwich: On each bread slice in the skillet, layer one slice of cheese, then a generous spoonful of the cooked ground beef, followed by another slice of cheese. Top with the second slice of bread, butter-side up.
- Grill the Sandwich: Cook the sandwiches for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, pressing down slightly, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted completely.
- Serve: Slice the sandwiches and serve hot. Add optional ketchup, pickles, sautéed onions, or mustard inside if desired.
Notes
- Make it a cheeseburger melt by adding thin tomato slices or a few jalapeños for extra flavor.
- Use shredded cheese to achieve quicker melting and a gooier texture.
