Ultimate Cheesy Ground Beef Melt
This delicious ultimate cheesy ground beef melt is a fantastic dish that's sure to impress. Made with ground beef, 4 slices thick-cut bread, and shredded cheddar cheese, it combines great flavors and textures for a memorable meal.
Ingredients
- 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
- Begin by heating a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the ground beef until it is fully browned, which should take about 7–9 minutes. Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
- Next, reduce the heat to medium and season the beef with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir to mix the seasonings thoroughly and allow to cook for an additional minute.
- While the beef is cooking, spread softened butter on one side of each slice of bread.
- On a clean surface, take one slice of bread and place it buttered-side down. Layer the slice with cheddar cheese, then add the cooked beef, followed by mozzarella cheese. Top with another slice of bread, ensuring the buttered side is facing up.
- Heat a clean skillet over medium heat and toast the sandwich for 3–4 minutes on each side, applying light pressure, until it is golden brown and the cheese has melted.
- Once cooked, remove the sandwich from the heat and let it rest for a minute before slicing and serving warm.
