Grilled Cheese Hamburger

I love grilled cheese sandwiches. I also love hamburgers. So why did it take me this long to combine the two?! I guess in essence you could call them Patty Melt Sandwiches, but whatever name they’re given, they’re good. Really good. When I was surfing the web, I came across this article for the ‘Web’s Greatest Burger Recipes.’ This Grilled Cheese Hamburger was one of them and ever since I laid my eyes on it, I couldn’t stop thinking about them. I had to make them… and I did. A seasoned beef patty is cooked to perfection before nestling in between two slices of toasted bread adorned with melted American cheese. Heaven.

So, this is not a difficult recipe by all means. Essentially, it involves a seasoned beef patty that’s pan fried until browned and slightly crispy around the edges. Meanwhile, two slices of bread are buttered on both sides and placed on a baking sheet, topped with a slice of American cheese. The bread is slowly oven toasted, perfectly timed so the cheese melts ever so slightly. Once the burger is done, the cheesy bread is removed from the oven. The burger patty is set atop one slice of cheesy bread and topped with the other. Once assembled, it’s one of the best, meaty grilled cheese sandwiches or toasty cheeseburgers you’ll ever eat. Mmmm…
