- 4 slices of your favorite cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or American)
- 4 slices of bread (your choice)

Instructions
- Sauté Aromatics: In a skillet over medium heat, add chopped onion and minced garlic. Cook until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
- Brown the Beef: Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef. Season it with salt and pepper. Cook until browned and fully cooked.
- Prepare the Bread: While the beef is cooking, spread butter on one side of each slice of bread.
