Divide into 4 equal portions and form into thin patties slightly smaller than your bread slices. Make a small indent in the center with your thumb to prevent the patties from puffing up while cooking.
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Cook the beef patties for 2–3 minutes per side until they reach your desired doneness.
During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheese on top of each patty and cover to melt.
Assemble the Grilled Cheese Burgers:
-
On a clean work surface, butter both sides of two bread slices.
-
Place one buttered slice in a skillet over medium heat. Let it toast for 1–2 minutes until golden.
-
Flip the bread slice. Place one cheese-topped beef patty on top, then add a slice of cheese on top of the patty, then place another slice of buttered bread on top.
-
Toast the exterior until golden and crispy (another 1–2 minutes).
-
Carefully flip the entire sandwich and repeat on the other side until both sides are golden brown and the cheese is completely melted and gooey.
-
Remove from heat and serve immediately while the cheese is still melting.
-
Repeat with remaining ingredients to make the second burger.
Pro Tips for the Perfect Grilled Cheese Burger
Use High-Quality Ground Beef – An 80/20 blend gives you the perfect balance of flavor and tenderness.
Don't Overwork the Meat – Gently combine ingredients. Overworking makes tough patties.
Use Enough Butter – This is what creates that golden, crispy exterior. Don't skimp!
Medium Heat is Your Friend – Too high and the bread burns before the cheese melts. Too low and it won't get crispy.
Add Extra Cheese – Stack it on top of the patty and on the bread for maximum meltiness.
Toast the Bread First – This creates a barrier that keeps the inside from getting soggy.
Optional Variations
The Classic – Add lettuce, tomato, and mayo for a burger-sandwich hybrid.
The Spicy Version – Use pepper jack cheese and add jalapeños and hot sauce.
The Bacon Lover – Add crispy bacon strips before toasting the top slice.
The Gourmet – Use caramelized onions, arugula, and garlic aioli.
The Breakfast Twist – Add a fried egg on top of the patty for an extra-decadent breakfast burger.
Serving Suggestions
Serve hot off the griddle while the cheese is still melting. Pair with crispy fries, a cold drink, or a simple side salad. The bread-cheese-beef combination is so satisfying on its own, you might not need any additional toppings.
Storage and Leftovers
These are best enjoyed immediately while warm. However, you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or toaster oven to restore crispiness.
