Grilled Cheese Burger Recipe
The Grilled Cheese Burger Recipe is the ultimate comfort food. It combines two classics — a juicy burger and a crispy grilled cheese sandwich.
Ingredients
For the burgers:
- 1 lb ground beef
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
For the grilled cheese "buns":
- 8 slices of bread
- 4 tbsp butter
- 8 slices of cheddar or American cheese
Optional toppings:
- Lettuce
- Tomato slices
- Pickles
- Caramelized onions
- Bacon
- Mayo ketchup, or mustard
Instructions
Make the Beef Patties
- In a bowl, mix ground beef, salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder.
- Form into 2 large patties.
Cook the Patties
- Heat a skillet on medium-high.
- Cook each patty for 4–5 minutes per side until browned and juicy.
- Remove and set aside.
Prepare the Grilled Cheese "Buns"
- Butter one side of each bread slice.
- Place 1 cheese slice on the unbuttered side, top with another slice of bread (butter facing out).
Cook the Grilled Cheese Sandwiches
- Cook sandwiches in a skillet until both sides are golden brown and cheese is melted.
- Repeat until you have 4 grilled cheese sandwiches (2 for each burger).
Assemble the Grilled Cheese Burgers
- Place one grilled cheese sandwich on a plate.
- Add a beef patty on top.
- Add toppings if you like.
- Place another grilled cheese sandwich on top as the "bun."
Serve and Enjoy
- Slice in half and serve hot.
Notes
- Use thick bread for a sturdy bun.
- Don’t press the sandwiches too hard — keep them fluffy.
- Add two types of cheese for extra flavor.
- Let the patties rest for a minute before building the burger.
- Cook on medium heat so the bread doesn’t burn.
