INGREDIENTS
  • ​1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 onion, diced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 6 slices American cheese
  • 6 slices Mozzarella cheese
  • 12 oz. tomato paste
  • 12 slices white bread 
  • Butter, softened
  • Oregano
  • Basil
  • Garlic salt
  • Salt
  • Pepper
​PREPARATION
  • Sauté hamburger with onion, garlic, salt and pepper. 
  • Spread tomato paste on a bread slice, then sprinkle with oregano and a wee bit of garlic salt. Cover with a slice of mozzarella cheese
  • Cover with hamburger, then cover with a slice of American cheese.
  • Spread another bread slice with tomato paste and sprinkle with basil. Place on top other half to complete the sandwich. 
  • Butter both sides of sandwiches and grill like a grilled cheese sandwich until bread slices are golden brown.​

Makes 6 sandwiches.

Note: Instead of using oregano on one side and basil on the other, you can also just use Italian seasoning on both sides. Also, we like to use Sara Lee Artesano bread for these. 

Nani made these sandwiches for us when we were kids. They were a fun treat and we always looked forward to Pizza Burger Night!
