A simple and delicious cheesy ground beef melt sandwich with melted cheddar and mozzarella.

  • Total Time: 20 mins
  • Yield: 2 sandwiches 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 4 slices thick-cut bread
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 tablespoons butter (softened)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the ground beef until fully browned, about 7–9 minutes. Drain excess fat.
  2. Lower the heat to medium and season the beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir to combine and cook for 1 more minute.
  3. While beef is cooking, butter one side of each bread slice.
  4. On a clean surface, place one slice of bread buttered-side down. Layer with cheddar, beef, then mozzarella. Top with the second slice, buttered-side up.
  5. Heat a clean skillet over medium heat. Toast the sandwich for 3–4 minutes per side, pressing lightly, until golden brown and cheese is melted.
  6. Remove from heat, let it rest for a minute, then slice and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use thick-cut bread for better texture.
  • Press the sandwich lightly while cooking for even browning.
  • Let it rest before slicing to prevent cheese from oozing out.
