Instructions
- In a skillet, cook the ground beef with diced onion until browned. Drain excess fat if needed.
- Add garlic, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook 2–3 minutes until fragrant.
- Stir in the shredded cheese until melted and creamy, then remove from heat.
- Butter one side of each slice of bread.
- Place a slice butter-side down in a skillet and add a generous scoop of the beef mixture.
- Top with extra cheese if desired, then place another bread slice on top, butter-side up.
- Cook over medium heat until golden, crispy, and melty—about 2–3 minutes per side.
- Repeat with remaining sandwiches. Slice and serve warm.
Notes
Use a mix of cheddar and provolone for the best melt. Add jalapeños, pickles, or hot sauce for an extra kick. Great with fries or a simple salad.
