1/4 tsp black pepper
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 tbsp butter
4 slices thick sliced bread
Instructions

2. Season the beef with garlic powder, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer for 2 more minutes, then remove from heat.
3. In a bowl, mix shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese together.
4. Butter one side of each bread slice. Lightly toast the buttered side in a skillet until just golden.
5. On the untoasted side, spread a thin layer of mayonnaise.
6. Layer beef mixture and shredded cheese on one slice, then top with another slice, buttered side out.
7. Cook the sandwich in a skillet over medium heat until golden brown on both sides and cheese is fully melted.
8. Press down gently with a spatula to help melt cheese evenly.
9. Remove from skillet, slice in half, and serve hot.
Notes
Use thick-sliced bread to avoid sogginess.
For extra richness, add a slice of pepper jack or provolone.
You can add jalapeños or mushrooms for a twist.
