Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp Onion powder
- 2 tbsp Butter (softened)
- 8 Sourdough bread (thick slices)
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese (sliced)
- 4 slices Swiss cheese (sliced)
- 0.5 Red onion (thinly sliced)
- 0.25 cup Pickles (sliced)
- 2 tbsp Mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp Ketchup
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp Cooking oil
Instructions
In a large bowl, mix the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until just combined. Form the mixture into 4 equal patties, slightly larger than the size of your bread slices.
Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the beef patties for 3-4 minutes per side, or until fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, ketchup, and Dijon mustard to create the burger sauce. Set aside.
Spread softened butter on one side of each slice of sourdough bread. The buttered sides will face outward during grilling.
Assemble the sandwiches: Lay 4 slices of bread buttered side down. Spread a thin layer of burger sauce on the unbuttered side of each slice. Top with one slice of cheddar cheese, a cooked beef patty, a few slices of red onion, a few slices of pickles, one slice of Swiss cheese, and another slice of bread (buttered side up).
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the assembled sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them rest for 2 minutes before slicing in half and serving.
Serve warm with your favorite side dishes like fries or a simple salad. Enjoy your Deluxe Cheeseburger Melt!
