🥘
Instructions
(Spacing as requested)
In a bowl, mix the ground beef with onions, spices, and Worcestershire sauce. Do not over-mix so the meat stays tender.
Form 2 large thin patties the size of your bread slices.
Heat a pan with a little oil and cook each patty 3–4 minutes per side until browned. Remove and set aside.
Butter the outside of each bread slice generously.
Place 1 slice bread (butter side down) in the pan. Add mozzarella + beef patty + cheddar + onion slices.
Cover with the second slice of bread (butter side up).
Cook on low-medium heat until the bread becomes golden brown and the cheese melts. Flip carefully and toast the other side.
Repeat with the second sandwich.
Cut and serve immediately while melty.

How to Make (Detailed Steps)
- Prepare the beef mixture and shape thin patties.
- Cook patties until browned but still juicy.
- Prepare your bread with butter for maximum crispiness.
- Layer cheese → patty → cheese again to get that perfect melt.
