1 lb (450 g) ground beef
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
½ tsp paprika
½ tsp onion powder
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp butter or oil

For the Sandwich:

8 slices thick sandwich bread
8–12 slices cheese (American, Cheddar, Mozzarella, or Swiss)
3 tbsp butter (softened, for spreading bread)

Optional Sauce:

½ cup mayonnaise
2 tbsp ketchup

Instructions

Step 1 — Cook the Beef

Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add butter or oil, then sauté the chopped onion until soft.
Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
Add ground beef, salt, pepper, paprika, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce.
Cook until browned. Drain excess grease and set aside.

Step 2 — Make the Sauce (Optional)

In a bowl, mix mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, and garlic powder. Set aside.

Step 3 — Assemble the Sandwich

Spread butter on one side of each bread slice.
Place one slice butter-side down in a pan.
Layer cheese → beef → more cheese → sauce (optional).
Top with another bread slice, butter-side up.

Step 4 — Grill the Sandwich

Cook on medium-low heat for 3–4 minutes per side, pressing gently, until bread is golden brown and cheese is fully melted.

Step 5 — Stack or Serve

Serve as a single thick sandwich or stack two sandwiches together like in the image for an extra indulgent meal.
