Bacon Cheeseburger Grilled Cheese – the ultimate comfort food combo!

Ingredients:

8 slices of bread (your choice: white, wheat, or sourdough)
1 lb ground beef
6 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
8 slices of cheddar cheese
4 tablespoons butter, softened
1 tablespoon ketchup
1 tablespoon mustard
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste

Optional Toppings:
Diced pickles
Sliced onions
Tomato slices

Directions:

Cook the Ground Beef:
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Drain any excess grease and set aside.

Prepare the Butter Spread:
In a small bowl, mix the softened butter with ketchup and mustard. This will add an extra layer of flavor to your grilled cheese.

Assemble the Sandwiches:
Spread the butter mixture on one side of each slice of bread. Place one slice of cheddar cheese on the unbuttered side of a slice of bread. Add a layer of cooked ground beef, crumbled bacon, and any optional toppings like pickles, onions, or tomato slices. Top with another slice of cheddar cheese, then close the sandwich with another slice of bread (buttered side facing out).

Cook the Sandwiches:
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted.

Serve:
Slice your Bacon Cheeseburger Grilled Cheese in half and serve warm. Enjoy this delicious mashup of flavors that will have everyone coming back for seconds!
