4 Things About a Grilled Cheese Steakburger To Make You Go Wow

For a dish that’s both creative and comforting, a grilled cheese steakburger is the perfect choice. At Freddy’s, our guests loved the Grilled Cheese Steakburger so much as a limited-time offer that it has now become a staple on our current menu. Similarly, in your own menu planning or by popular vote in your household, this dish may also become the highlight of your weekly meals. Below, we celebrate why grilled cheese steakburgers are sure to wow those who enjoy them!

4 Ways That Grilled Cheese Steakburgers Wow

To make any steakburger crave-worthy, careful preparation of the steakburger is essential. At Freddy’s, our steakburgers are cooked-to-order, so that they are steaming hot with crispy edges for our guests to enjoy. However, aside from these steakburger patties or your own homemade burgers, the other components of a grilled cheese steakburger are the keys to its popularity.

The Toasty Bread

For any steakburger, the right choice of bread contributes to the overall flavor of the dish, as well as its enjoyment. Toasting or grilling buns provides textural contrast and added smokiness in the case of the latter option. In a grilled cheese steakburger, enjoy double the benefits of toasting by executing careful preparation of both sides of the bread. Then, for creations like grilled cheese steakburgers that offer extra cheesy gooey-ness in addition to the juiciness of the burger, a tasty yet sturdy toasted bread further unifies this dish.

At Freddy’s, our Grilled Cheese Steakburger features Texas Toast with its thick-cut slices of bread, which are grilled to a golden brown. With a softer interior and a crispier exterior, this bread selection provides its own textural notes and contains the accompanying sauce and other components without breaking down. In making your own grilled cheese steakburger at home, consider making your own Texas Toast or use one of these other recommendations about bread to use for grilled cheese from Tasting Table, including options such as focaccia and cornbread.

The Extra Cheese

Cheese is no stranger to the burger, but a grilled cheese steakburger is designed especially for cheese lovers. In this creation, the taste and creaminess of the chosen cheese or cheeses are at the front and center of it. Please your palate or the tastebuds of any fellow diners with thoughtful combinations of different cheeses or choices of cheese and other ingredient pairings. Additionally, consider customizing the melt factor to your liking, perhaps so that cheese oozes out with each bite.

The Freddy’s Grilled Cheese Steakburger features not one but two different cheeses, specifically American cheese and Swiss cheese. Multiple cheese slices are layered from the bottom piece of Texas Toast through each steakburger patty to meet up with the crispy bacon at the top! Additionally, guests can opt to include extra cheese or choose a different type of cheese to include with their specific sandwich order.

The Striking Sauce

A rich, decadent creation, grilled cheese steakburgers benefit from a more distinctive sauce that deliciously foils the other components of the dish. Depending on the bread and cheese selections, as well as personal preference and inspiration for the dish, this sauce may tend toward the sweeter side or the more savory. For example, the Freddy’s Grilled Cheese Steakburger is not only inspired by two classic dishes but also incorporates flavors from a third dish often paired with grilled cheese in its specialty sauce – tomato soup. This tangy spread complements the other flavors without becoming lost in the creamy cheese or smoky notes of the steakburger. As with the cheese and bread selections, choosing the right sauce for your own grilled cheese steakburger further distinguishes it from other steakburgers and sandwiches.

The Customizable Extras

By combining two beloved dishes like grilled cheese and steakburgers, it may seem that perfection has already been achieved. However, the careful curation of extras to feature in your dish further enhances its overall taste. Crispy bacon completes the Grilled Cheese Steakburger at Freddy’s, but guests can also customize it with our variety of toppings and sauces. For example, whether at Freddy’s or at home, create a spicier grilled cheese steakburger with the addition of grilled jalapeños or chili.
