1. Cook the Beef Filling
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and add olive oil or butter.
- Add chopped onions and cook until they turn soft and translucent.
- Toss in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the ground beef. Break it up with a spatula and cook until browned and fully cooked.
- Stir in Worcestershire sauce, mustard (if using), salt, and pepper. Let it simmer until most of the liquid evaporates.
- Remove from heat and set aside. Drain excess grease if needed.
2. Prep the Sandwich
- Butter one side of each bread slice generously.
- On the unbuttered side of half the slices, layer:
- A slice of cheese
- A generous scoop of the seasoned beef mixture
- (Optional) Pickles, grilled onions, or a light spread of burger sauce
- Another slice of cheese
- Top with another slice of bread (buttered side facing out)
3. Grill the Sandwiches
- Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat.
- Place the sandwiches in the pan (one or two at a time depending on the size).
- Cook until golden brown and crispy on one side (about 3–4 minutes), then flip carefully.
- Grill the other side until the cheese is fully melted and the bread is beautifully toasted.
- Press gently with a spatula for even cooking and better contact.
4. Serve Hot
- Let the sandwiches sit for 1 minute before slicing.
- Cut diagonally for that classic grilled cheese look.
- Serve with fries, chips, or a fresh salad.
Tips & Variations
- Cheese matters: Use a mix of cheeses like sharp cheddar for flavor and mozzarella for stretch.
- Add heat: Throw in a few jalapeños or pepper jack cheese for a spicy twist.
- Upgrade the flavor: Use garlic butter or herb butter on the bread before grilling.
