What happens when you combine a grilled cheese sandwich and a hamburger? The Sonic Grilled Cheese Burger Sandwich is what you get! What a delicious combination!
You will use the grilled, toasted bread instead of a soft bun to get and bite into a meaty and cheesy center. There’s no doubt that you will love this! This sandwich/burger combines your favorite flavors from a cheeseburger and a grilled cheese sandwich into one delicious treat.
This idea actually came from a Sonic Burger advertisement. It was a great way to make a burger, and it was something everyone must want to try. Especially if you don’t have any Sonic near you, and you can just recreate them at home. They are delicious, and they take only 15 to 20 minutes to make. That’s awesome!
How to Make Sonic Grilled Cheese Burger
First, divide the ground beef into 6 equal-sized portions, and then flatten them into thin patties.
Season the beef patties using salt and pepper.
Over medium-high heat, heat a large cast iron skillet or griddle.
Then, butter one side of each bread slice and place a slice of cheese on the unbuttered side.
Once the grill is heated, put the beef patties on it and fry until it is cooked through. This takes approximately 3-4 minutes per side.
Turn down the heat to medium, then put 3 slices of bread on the grill with the buttered sides down.
Each slice of bread should be topped with cheese and two beef patties.
Next, put a slice of tomato and cheese on top of the beef patties.
Top with a slice of bread, with the buttered side up.
Use a spatula or a fork to flip the sandwich once the bread is golden brown and crisp on one side.
Let the bread toast and the cheese melt. And, as the sandwich cooks, press it together with a spatula.
If you prefer, serve with mustard, ketchup, and sliced pickles.
These were absolutely delicious! They are not only heavenly, but they are also extremely easy to prepare! Go and try making these at home.
