Ingredients
Scale
Ground Beef
- 1 lb ground beef
Onion
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
Cheese
- 4 slices of American or cheddar cheese
Seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
Bread
- 2 pieces of hero bread
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by finely chopping the onion and gathering all your ingredients. This will ensure that everything is ready to go when you start cooking.
- Cook the Beef: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the Onion: Once the beef is nearly cooked through, add the chopped onion to the skillet. Stir and cook until the onions are translucent and soft, about 3-5 minutes.
- Season the Mixture: Sprinkle salt and pepper over the beef and onion mixture, mixing well to ensure the flavors meld together.
- Melt the Cheese: Top the beef mixture with slices of cheese and cover the skillet with a lid. Allow the cheese to melt for about 2-3 minutes.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Once the cheese is melted, spoon the mixture onto a piece of hero bread. Top with any additional toppings you desire and serve immediately!
Notes
- Don’t Rush the Cooking: Allow the beef and onions to caramelize for deeper flavors.
- Experiment with Cheeses: Try mixing different cheeses for a more complex flavor.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh produce will always enhance the taste of your dish.
- Toast the Bread: Lightly toasting the hero bread adds an extra layer of texture.
- Serve Immediately: For the best experience, serve the sandwich right after assembling.
