Description
A quick and comforting cheesy sandwich made with ground beef and melted cheeses, perfect for busy weeknights.
Ingredients
Meat Mixture
- 1 lb Ground beef (Use lean ground beef if desired.)
- 1/2 tsp Garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp Onion powder
- 1 tbsp Fresh parsley (Can be omitted if desired.)
- 1/4 tsp Black pepper
- 1/2 tsp Salt (Adjust to taste.)
Sandwich Assembly
- 4 slices Thick-cut bread (Holds up best for the sandwich.)
- 2 tbsp Butter (Room temperature makes spreading easier.)
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese (Grated for best melting quality.)
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese (Grated for best melting quality.)
Instructions
Preparation
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks.
- Add garlic powder, onion powder, parsley, black pepper, and salt. Mix well and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Assembly and Cooking
- Butter one side of each slice of bread.
- On the non-buttered side of two slices, layer the cooked beef mixture, cheddar cheese, and mozzarella cheese.
- Top with the other slices of bread, buttered side facing out.
- In the skillet, toast each sandwich over medium heat until the bread is golden and the cheese is melted, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Slice in half and serve immediately.
Notes
Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days. Sandwiches can be frozen for up to 2 months. Use room temperature butter for even crisping.
