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
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the ground beef until fully browned, about 7–9 minutes. Drain excess fat.
- 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.
- While beef is cooking, butter one side of each bread slice.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
