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

1. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat.
2. Add the ground beef, breaking it apart as it cooks. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce.
3. Cook until browned and no longer pink (about 5-6 minutes). Drain excess grease and set the beef aside.

Step 2: Prepare the Bread 🍞

1. 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 🧀🍔

1. Place a slice of bread, butter-side down, onto a skillet over medium heat.
2. Add a slice of cheddar cheese on top of the bread.
3. Spoon a generous layer of the cooked ground beef onto the cheese.
4. Top the beef with 1-2 slices of crispy bacon. 🥓
5. Add another slice of cheese to ensure ultimate gooeyness! 🧀
6. Finish with a second slice of bread, butter-side up.

Step 4: Grill the Sandwich 🥪

1. Cook the sandwich for 2-3 minutes on one side, or until golden and crispy.
2. Carefully flip the sandwich using a spatula and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side.
3. Press down gently to ensure the cheese melts perfectly.

Step 5: Serve 🍽️

1. Once both sides are golden brown and the cheese is melted, remove the sandwich from the skillet.
2. Slice it in half for that ooey-gooey cheese pull moment. 🧀✨
3. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces like ketchup, mustard, or BBQ sauce.
