Ingredients
Scale
- 340g ground beef (80/20 ratio)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 slices American or cheddar cheese (for patties)
- 8 slices hearty white or sourdough bread

Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine ground beef, salt, pepper, and garlic powder, mixing until just incorporated.
- Form the meat into two even-sized patties, slightly larger than your bread slices.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the patties for 4-5 minutes per side until reaching your desired doneness.
- Top each patty with one slice of cheese for the last minute of cooking to let it melt.
- Spread softened butter or mayo on one side of each slice of bread.
- Assemble four sandwiches by placing two slices of cheese between two slices of buttered bread.
- In a clean skillet, grill the sandwiches over medium heat until golden brown on both sides and cheese is melted.
- Place one burger patty inside each of the two grilled cheese sandwiches and serve immediately.

Serve warm with crispy fries or a fresh salad. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
