Cheeseburger Grilled Cheese
This will basically be the best grilled cheese of your life – stacked with cheesy, meaty goodness! Perfect for a quick dinner!
Anything that involves the word “cheeseburger” is an automatic win.
For example, take cheeseburger pasta. Or a cheeseburger quesadilla.
And of course, there’s the classic actual cheeseburger.
So when I present you with this cheeseburger grilled cheese, no one loses in this one.
In fact, I think I like it better than a cheeseburger.
There’s no lettuce or tomatoes to get in the way!
It’s just meet, cheese, tomatoes and crisp, crusty-buttery bread.
Done.
Cheeseburger Grilled Cheese
This will basically be the best grilled cheese of your life – stacked with cheesy, meaty goodness! Perfect for a quick dinner!
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound ground beef*
- 1 1.25-ounce package taco seasoning
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 Roma tomatoes, diced
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 8 slices whole wheat bread
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add ground beef and cook until beef has browned, about 3-5 minutes, making sure to crumble the beef as it cooks; stir in taco seasoning. Drain excess fat.
- Stir in cheese and tomatoes until the cheese has just melted.
- With a butter knife, spread butter on one side of each slice of bread. Place 4 slices, buttered side down, on work surface. Divide ground beef mixture evenly on all slices. Top with remaining slices, buttered side up.
- Heat the skillet over low heat. Add sandwiches and cover; cook, turning once with a spatula, until golden brown and the cheese has completely melted, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Slice and serve immediately.
Notes
*Ground chicken or turkey can be substituted.

I tried this tonight and I love the method. Putting butter directly on the bread leaves a beautiful crust but I’ll change the spice mixture next time. Maybe a Montreal seasoning with bacon and cheddar.
Oh this looks so good! And it sounds really easy to make too, I must try this.
Okay, this was delicious. Didn’t have pickles, so we used home made sauerkraut instead. Mmm good! Also, you inspired me to create a donair grilled cheese sandwich with sweet sauce. So good! Thanks for your yummy recipes!
Holy heaven, this looks amazing. Perfect for a Saturday night relaxing outside with a beer… Yesss
I don’t know where I should comment, but can I just say THANK YOU for all these amazing recipes! I am so excited to try every.single.one
About a year ago I found your chicken lemon orzo soup on pinterest and fell in love with it! I came back looking for it and decided to check out your site! Beautiful! And you somehow really make me feel as if I truly can make delicious meals. That soup! It clutched my heart! Haha thanks again!
Hi Chungah,
I loe how you too something as basic as a grilled cheeseburger and made it so novel.
I’m trying it this weekend 🙂
Sending some love to it from pinterest too 🙂
I’m making it tonight. Adding bacon into the ground beef mixture. Serving it with the hash brown potato pancakes
Sounds amazing!!
Just wanted to let you know the sandwiches were a big hit last night. Just to make it a little more classic grilled cheese I put a slice of American cheese on each sandwich. your hash brown potato pancakes were awesome too
Holy heaven, this looks amazing. Perfect for a Saturday night relaxing outside with a beer… Yesss
I will surely try it tonight.
It looks damn yummy.
This looks beyond delicious!
It looks delicious. Very nice post! Thank you so much!
these Grilled cheese sandwiches/burgers looks awesome. Very interested in the way you heat and cook everything in a pan before you put it on the bread. Instead of just putting it straight on the bread seperately. Will have to try it this way the nect time I make toasted sandwiches (:
I am so gonna make this tonight with turkey!
