Ingredients
Scale
- 8 slices of bread (your choice: white, wheat, or sourdough)
- 1 lb ground beef
- 6 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 8 slices of cheddar cheese
- 4 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 tablespoon mustard
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Optional Toppings:
- Diced pickles
- Sliced onions
- Tomato slices
Instructions
- Cook the Ground Beef:
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat and season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir in ketchup and mustard for added flavor. Set aside. - Prepare the Bread:
Spread softened butter on one side of each bread slice. Place the buttered side down on a clean surface. - Assemble the Sandwich:
Layer one slice of cheddar cheese on the unbuttered side of the bread. Add a spoonful of cooked ground beef, crumbled bacon, and any optional toppings you desire. Top with another slice of cheddar cheese, then place another slice of bread on top, buttered side facing out. - Grill the Sandwiches:
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Cook each sandwich for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted. - Serve:
Slice your Bacon Cheeseburger Grilled Cheese diagonally and serve immediately. Enjoy the hearty and cheesy twist on a classic favorite!
Notes
- You can customize the sandwich with additional toppings like lettuce or grilled onions to make it even more indulgent.
- For extra crispy bread, cook the sandwiches on medium-low heat to ensure the cheese melts completely before the bread gets too dark.
- Feel free to swap the cheddar cheese for another type like Swiss or American for a different flavor.
