- 1 pound 93% lean ground beef
- 20 slices Italian bread (about one loaf)
- 22 slices of your favorite cheese (you'll get about 2 circles out of each slice)
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 2 tablespoon mustard
- salt and pepper
- 1 cup finely diced onions (optional)
- 4 tablespoon butter divided
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Using a 2 ½ inch cookie cutter cut circles in the sliced Italian bread. Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter and lightly brush the tops of each circle of bread. Place on a large cookie sheet and bake for 4 minutes.
Meanwhile, using the same cookie cutter, cut slices of cheese into circles.
If using diced onions, melt butter in a medium frying pan over medium heat and saute until the onions are soft and just starting to brown.
Mix ground beef, ketchup, mustard, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Scoop ¾ to 1 tablespoon of ground beef mixture onto the top of each toasted bread circle. Press ground beef into a thin layer on the bread circles. Top with a little sauteed onion, if using, and cheese circles.
Bake for 7-10 minutes and serve immediately.
