Ingredients

Scale

1 lb lean ground beef
1 medium onion, finely chopped
½ cup ketchup
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
4 slices thick bread (sourdough or Texas toast)
2 tbsp butter

Instructions

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef and chopped onion until browned and onion is translucent (5-7 minutes). Drain excess fat if necessary.
Stir in ketchup and Worcestershire sauce; simmer on low heat for about 10 minutes.
Butter one side of each slice of bread generously.
On a non-stick skillet over medium heat, place one slice of bread butter-side down. Spoon meat mixture onto it, top with cheddar cheese, then add another slice of bread on top.
Grill until golden brown on one side (3-4 minutes), flip carefully and grill until both sides are crispy and cheese is melted.
Let cool for a minute before slicing in half. Serve with pickles or potato chips.
