Craving comfort food in under 30 minutes? The Ultimate Cheesy Ground Beef Melt is your go-to for a quick dinner, easy lunch, or indulgent late-night snack. Packed with savory seasoned beef and gooey cheese, toasted to golden perfection.
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
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the ground beef until fully browned, about 7–9 minutes. Drain excess fat.
- Lower heat to medium, season beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir and cook 1 more minute.
- While beef cooks, butter one side of each bread slice.
- Place one slice of bread buttered-side down. Layer with cheddar, beef, then mozzarella. Top with the second slice, buttered-side up.
- Heat a clean skillet over medium heat. Toast sandwich 3–4 minutes per side, pressing lightly, until golden and cheese is melted.
- Remove from heat, let rest 1 minute, slice, and serve warm.
Notes
- Use freshly grated cheese for a creamier melt.
- Reheat leftovers in a skillet for crispiness, not microwave.
- Beef mixture can be prepped up to 2 days in advance.
