Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef: The star of your dish, giving it that hearty, burger flavor.
- 1 chopped onion: Adds sweetness and depth to the beef.
- 1/2 tsp each of salt and pepper: Essential for seasoning.
- 1 tsp each of onion powder and paprika: Boosts the flavor with a bit of spice.
- 1 TBSP minced garlic: For that extra garlicky punch.
- 1 box garlic bread: Your base, and a great way to get that delicious garlic flavor.
- Shredded cheddar cheese: Melts beautifully and gives you that classic cheeseburger taste.
- Burger Sauce:
- 1/2 cup mayo
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 1/8 cup mustard
- 1 TBSP sweet relish
- 2 chopped green onions: For a fresh, crunchy finish.
Instructions
- Prepare the Garlic Bread: Start by baking the garlic bread according to the package instructions. For an extra crispy texture, bake it a little longer than the suggested time. This will give your garlic bread a satisfying crunch that holds up well under the toppings.
- Make the Burger Sauce: While the garlic bread is baking, mix together the mayo, ketchup, mustard, and sweet relish to create a tangy, creamy burger sauce. Stir these ingredients together in a bowl and set aside. This sauce will add a delicious burger-like flavor to your dish.
- Cook the Ground Beef: In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef and chopped onion until the beef is browned and the onion is softened. Sprinkle in the salt, pepper, onion powder, and paprika. These seasonings will infuse the beef with that classic cheeseburger flavor.
- Add Garlic: Once the beef is browned, drain any excess grease from the skillet. Add the minced garlic to the beef mixture and stir well. Cook for another minute or so, just until the garlic is fragrant.
- Assemble the Dish: Remove the garlic bread from the oven and place it on a baking sheet. Spread the cooked beef mixture evenly over the garlic bread. Top with a generous layer of shredded cheddar cheese.
- Melt the Cheese: Return the loaded garlic bread to the oven and bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly. This usually takes just a few minutes, so keep an eye on it.
- Top and Serve: Once the cheese has melted to your liking, remove the garlic bread from the oven. Drizzle the homemade burger sauce over the top and sprinkle with chopped green onions for a fresh, zesty finish.
- Enjoy: Slice into pieces and serve hot. This Cheeseburger Garlic Bread makes a fantastic main course or a fun, casual dinner option.
