Ingredients 🛒
For the Grilled Cheese:
- 1 pound ground beef 🥩
- 1 teaspoon salt 🧂
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 🌶️
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder 🧄
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce 🌿
- 6-8 slices bacon, cooked crispy 🥓
- 8 slices cheddar cheese (or American cheese) 🧀
- 8 slices sandwich bread (sourdough, brioche, or white bread work best) 🍞
- 4 tablespoons butter, softened 🧈
Optional Toppings:

- Caramelized onions 🧅

Instructions 👨🍳
Step 1: Cook the Beef
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the ground beef, breaking it apart as it cooks. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce.
- Cook until browned and no longer pink (about 5-6 minutes). Drain excess grease and set the beef aside.
Step 2: Prepare the Bread 🍞
- Spread a thin, even layer of softened butter on one side of each bread slice. This will give you that golden, crispy crust.
Step 3: Assemble the Grilled Cheese 🧀🍔
- Place a slice of bread, butter-side down, onto a skillet over medium heat.
- Add a slice of cheddar cheese on top of the bread.
- Spoon a generous layer of the cooked ground beef onto the cheese.
- Top the beef with 1-2 slices of crispy bacon. 🥓
- Add another slice of cheese to ensure ultimate gooeyness! 🧀
- Finish with a second slice of bread, butter-side up.
Step 4: Grill the Sandwich 🥪
- Cook the sandwich for 2-3 minutes on one side, or until golden and crispy.
- Carefully flip the sandwich using a spatula and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side.
- Press down gently to ensure the cheese melts perfectly.
Step 5: Serve 🍽️
- Once both sides are golden brown and the cheese is melted, remove the sandwich from the skillet.
- Slice it in half for that ooey-gooey cheese pull moment. 🧀✨
- Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces like ketchup, mustard, or BBQ sauce.
