Spicy Cheeseburger Grilled Cheese Sandwich Recipe

This Spicy Cheeseburger Grilled Cheese Sandwich combines two classics – the hamburger and the grilled cheese sandwich, into one spiced-up masterpiece!

How do you like your burgers? I love mine nice and medium rare…not a second over or they are too done for me. I absolutely love my burgers cooked on the grill, don’t you? There is the amazing smell and the sound of the sizzle and popping when the fat hits the hot coals. Oh my heck yes!

And then to dress it up? There are so many delicious, mouthwatering toppings to choose from! Some of my favorites are lettuce, tomato, crispy dill pickles, mayo and ketchup. Or, for a California-arylw burger, how about some sprouts and avocado slices?

And that is just the tip of the proverbial iceberg(er!) Oh goodness, now I am drooling just at the thought!

Another favorite is a good old fashioned grilled cheese sandwich. When I was growing up, mom would make my sister and I grilled cheese with tomato soup and chocolate milk. This is another beloved sandwich you can do so much with.

As a child, I would only eat my grilled cheese with two slices of American cheese. As an adult, I have discovered there are so many cheese that make the perfect oeey, gooey grilled cheese sandwich. I especially like a smoky Gouda and a creamy Havarti. Talk about cheesy!

Crud..now I want a grilled cheese…or do I want a burger? If only I could combine the two!

Well, welcome to my idea of Nirvana: a Spicy Cheeseburger Grilled Cheese Sandwich! This is the perfect marriage of two classic sandwiches. The idea of this glorious sandwich absolutely makes my mouth water and my tummy grumble.

What makes this sandwich extra gooey and delicious is that we use THREE kinds of cheese in it: Gouda, Havarti and Cheddar. Of course you’re free to use whatever type of cheese you prefer, but we really love this combination!

And it is so easy to make! We make a lot of dishes with ground beef, so I will have Ziplock bags of it in my freezer. When I want to make this Spicy Cheeseburger Grilled Cheese Sandwich recipe, I can defrost a bag and have it ready that much more quickly.

My husband usually eats this Spicy Cheeseburger Grilled Cheese Sandwich with lettuce and tomato on top, making it the best darn sandwich on the planet! You just must try this over the weekend. The family sure will love you for it!
