In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned, about 5–7 minutes.
Add the diced onions and minced garlic, and cook until the onions are translucent, about 3–4 minutes.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 2: Assemble the Sandwich
Preheat a griddle pan or a large skillet over medium heat.
Spread 1 tablespoon of butter on one side of each slice of bread.
Place two slices of bread (butter-side down) in the hot pan.
On top of each slice of bread, place 2 slices of cheese.
Add the cooked ground beef mixture evenly over the cheese.
Top with the desired burger toppings (tomato, onion, lettuce, and pickles).
Place another slice of cheese on top of the toppings.
Cover with the remaining slices of bread, butter-side up.
Step 3: Grill the Sandwich
Press down gently on the sandwiches using a spatula or a heavy plate to ensure even cooking.
Cook for about 3–4 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
If needed, add a little more butter to the top of the bread during cooking to achieve a crispier texture.
Step 4: Serve
Remove the sandwiches from the pan and let them rest for a few minutes.
Slice each sandwich diagonally into halves.
Serve hot with a side of fries or a green salad.
Tips:
Cheese Variety: You can use different types of cheese, such as cheddar, Swiss, or a combination of cheeses, depending on your preference.
Toppings: Customize the sandwich by adding extra toppings like bacon, avocado, or jalapeños.
Grill Option: For a smokier flavor, you can grill the sandwiches instead of frying them.
Storage: Leftover sandwiches can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
Enjoy your delicious Cheeseburger Grilled Cheese Sandwich! 😊
