Ingredients
1 pound ground beef
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
8 slices white sandwich bread or Texas toast
2 tablespoons butter, softened
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
1. In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef until browned and crumbled. Drain excess fat.
2. Add Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well and let simmer 2–3 minutes.
3. Butter one side of each bread slice.
4. Place cheddar cheese on the unbuttered side of a bread slice, then spoon beef mixture over it, followed by mozzarella cheese. Top with another bread slice, buttered side out.
5. Heat skillet or griddle to medium. Cook sandwich 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and cheese is melted.
6. Let rest briefly, slice, and serve hot.
Notes
Use thick-sliced bread like Texas toast for best results and to hold all that cheesy goodness.
For extra flavor, toast the sandwich low and slow to ensure maximum crispiness and melty cheese.
