Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning
- 0.25 cup Water
- 4 slices Sourdough bread
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Shredded lettuce
- 1 cup Diced tomatoes
- 4 tablespoons Sour cream
- 1 teaspoon Hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it up into small crumbles with a wooden spoon, about 5-7 minutes.
Once the beef is cooked through, drain any excess grease. Mix in the taco seasoning and water. Stir well and let simmer for 2-3 minutes until the seasoning is fully incorporated. Remove from heat and set aside.
Butter one side of each slice of sourdough bread. Place two slices, butter-side down, on a clean cutting board or plate.
Layer the taco-seasoned beef evenly over the non-buttered side of the two bread slices. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top of the beef.
Add a layer of shredded lettuce and diced tomatoes over the cheese. If desired, drizzle with hot sauce for extra heat.
Spread one tablespoon of sour cream on the non-buttered side of each of the remaining bread slices, and place them on top of the prepared slices, butter-side up, creating a sandwich.
Heat a clean skillet or griddle over medium heat. Carefully transfer the sandwiches to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let rest for 1-2 minutes. Slice in half and serve warm.
