🧾 Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend recommended)

• 1 small onion, finely chopped

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

• 1/2 cup beef broth

• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

• 4 slices of bread (sourdough or white)

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

• Salt and pepper to taste

• Optional: Fresh parsley for garnish

👩‍🍳 Directions

1. Cook the Ground Beef: In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef, breaking it apart as it browns. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onion becomes translucent.

2. Season the Beef: Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, beef broth, salt, and pepper. Let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the broth to reduce slightly.

3. Prepare the Bread: While the beef mixture simmers, butter one side of each slice of bread.

4. Assemble the Sandwiches: Place two slices of bread, buttered side down, in a skillet over medium heat. Layer each slice with cheddar cheese, followed by a generous portion of the ground beef mixture, and top with mozzarella cheese. Place the remaining bread slices on top, buttered side up.

5. Grill the Sandwiches: Cook the sandwiches for about 3–4 minutes on each side, pressing down gently to help the cheese melt. Flip carefully when the bread turns golden and crispy, cooking until the cheese is fully melted.

6. Serve: Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them rest for a minute before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot and enjoy your Ultimate Cheesy Ground Beef Melt!
