Description
A delicious fusion of a cheeseburger and grilled cheese sandwich, combining the flavors of beef, cheese, and classic sandwich ingredients.
Ingredients
Scale
- 10 oz ground beef (80/20 blend recommended)
- 1 small onion, finely diced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 8 slices sandwich bread (white, whole wheat, or brioche)
- 8 slices cheddar cheese
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 4 tablespoons dill pickle chips (optional)
- 1 medium tomato, thinly sliced (optional)
- 1/2 cup shredded iceberg lettuce (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it into crumbles, until browned, about 4 minutes.
- Add diced onion and minced garlic to the pan. Continue cooking until the onion is translucent and garlic fragrant, around 2 to 3 minutes.
- Stir in salt, black pepper, ketchup, yellow mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes, then remove from heat and set aside to cool briefly.
- Spread softened butter on one side of each bread slice. Set aside for assembly.
- On the unbuttered side of four bread slices, place one slice of cheddar, spoon over beef mixture, then add pickles, tomato, and lettuce as desired. Top with another slice of cheddar cheese.
- Cover each prepared stack with a second bread slice, ensuring the buttered side faces outward.
- Heat a clean skillet over medium-low. Add sandwiches and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, gently pressing, until bread is crisp and golden and cheese has melted.
- Transfer sandwiches to a cutting board, allow to rest for 1 minute, then slice and serve hot.
Notes
- For extra flavor, consider adding your favorite burger toppings.
- You can substitute cheddar with other types of cheese if desired.
