How to make a ground beef and cheese sandwich at home?
Peel half a white onion, cut it in half and place it on a food chopping board. Finely chop the onion.
Take one clove of garlic and peel it. Do not chop the garlic. The garlic will be squeezed in the pan later.
Preheat the hob to medium heat. Place the pan on the hob and add 3 tablespoons of olive oil to the pan.
Add the finely chopped onions to the pan with the oil.
Squeeze the peeled garlic clove into the pan.
Mix the garlic and onion with the oil and fry lightly. Fry for about 2-3 minutes over medium heat until yellowish and slightly softened.
When the garlic and onion have browned and softened, it's time to add the minced beef to the pan.
Take the minced beef. In this recipe we use fatty ground beef (about 150 grams / 5,3 oz). The fattier the beef, the tastier the sandwich. However, if you want a healthier version of the sandwich, choose lean beef, which is lower in calories.
Since ground beef tends to stick together into a solid mass, use a wooden or plastic spatula to break up the ground beef into small pieces. We want the beef to be loose and fine.
When you have broken the ground beef into pieces, add 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the pan and sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper. Mix the meat, onions and garlic well with the spices.
Leave the minced beef to cook on a medium heat for about 10-12 minutes, but stir the contents of the pan with a wooden or plastic spatula.
While the meat is in the pan, take a piece of hard cheese and grate it through a medium-sized grater.
When the meat is cooked, pour the entire contents of the pan into a separate bowl. The meat will be used later in the sandwich.
In the meantime, take a clean frying pan and place it on a medium hot hob. Add one tablespoon of butter to the pan. Wait until the butter has melted.
Place a slice of sandwich bread in the pan with the melted butter.
Sprinkle some grated cheese on the sandwich bread slice.
On the same slice with the grated cheese, add the roasted minced beef with onion and garlic.
Sprinkle a little more minced hard cheese on top of the minced beef and place the second slice of sandwich bread on top.
Bake the sandwich on a medium heat for about 8 minutes (4 minutes each side). Make sure that the bread on the sandwich does not burn and is nicely browned.
When the sandwich is cooked, remove from the pan, cut in half and serve. Enjoy!
