Description
A quick and satisfying sandwich of seasoned ground beef, caramelized onions, and two cheeses between buttered sourdough.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 cup beef broth (or water plus a pinch of bouillon)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (sharp or medium)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 slices sourdough or white bread
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Heat a skillet over medium-high. Add the ground beef and cook until browned and no longer pink.
- Stir in the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3–4 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper, add Worcestershire sauce and beef broth, then simmer until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 4–5 minutes.
- Butter one side of each slice of bread.
- Preheat a skillet over medium heat and place two slices of bread, butter side down. Sprinkle a layer of cheddar on each slice.
- Spoon half the beef mixture over the cheddar and top with mozzarella.
- Place the remaining bread slices on top, butter side up.
- Grill each sandwich for 3–4 minutes per side until golden and melted, pressing gently with a spatula.
- Remove sandwiches, let rest 1 minute, slice, and serve with parsley if desired.
Notes
For a leaner option, swap ground turkey or chicken; for a gluten-free version, use gluten-free bread.
