Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 medium bell pepper, diced
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1 tbsp mustard
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 4 slices American cheese or cheddar
- 4 slices thick bread (like sourdough or Texas toast)
- 2 tbsp butter
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add a drizzle of oil and sauté the diced onion and bell pepper for about 5 minutes until softened.
- Add the ground beef, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook until browned for another 5-7 minutes, seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Stir in ketchup, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce; let simmer for 5 minutes.
- Place cheese slices on top of the meat mixture, cover with a lid, and cook on low heat until melted (about 3 minutes).
- Butter one side of each slice of bread. In another pan over medium-low heat, place the bread butter-side down.
- Assemble by scooping the cheesy meat mixture onto one slice of bread and topping it with another slice (butter side up). Grill until golden brown on both sides (about 3 minutes each).
