Description
A savory twist on the classic grilled cheese, featuring seasoned ground beef, melted provolone and mozzarella, and a warm marinara dipping sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 8 slices sourdough bread
- 4 tablespoons butter, softened
- 8 slices provolone cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup marinara sauce, warmed
Instructions
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until browned and cooked through. Drain excess fat and set aside.
- Spread butter on one side of each bread slice.
- Place 4 bread slices butter-side down on a clean surface. Top each with 1 slice provolone cheese, a quarter of the cooked beef, 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella, and another slice provolone. Cover with remaining bread slices, butter-side up.
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Cook sandwiches for 3-4 minutes per side, until bread is golden brown and cheese is melted.
- Serve immediately with warm marinara sauce for dipping.
Notes
For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the beef. Use a panini press for even crispier results.
