Step by Step Instructions for Making Bacon Cheeseburger Grilled Cheese Casserole
STEP 1:
To make this cheeseburger casserole, I started by cooking some ground beef in a large skillet with a dab of margarine.
I crumbled the ground beef well while it was cooking.
When the ground beef was fully cooked, I added some diced onions to the pan.
STEP 2:
I stirred the onions into the beef and left them to cook for a few minutes stirring occasionally.
Then I removed the pan from the heat and added some crumbled bacon, mayo, ketchup, mustard, salt, pepper and onion powder.
I stirred until all of the ingredients were fully combined.
STEP 3:
I spread 6 slices of bread with margarine and then cut them in half.
I lay the bread slices, margarine side down, in the bottom of a greased 9 x 13 inch baking dish.
STEP 4:
Then I sprinkled some shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese over the bread slices.
I spooned the ground beef mixture on top of the cheese and spread it out evenly.
STEP 5:
Then I sprinkled more shredded cheese on top of the meat.
I spread 6 more slices of bread with margarine and cut them in half.
Then I lay the bread slices, margarine side up, on top of the casserole.
STEP 6:
I placed the dish in the oven and baked it until the bread on top was golden brown.
This delicious casserole is oozing with melted cheese.
It’s a fun way to turn grilled cheese into a hearty meal.

What should I serve with my grilled cheese casserole?
Grilled cheese casserole pairs well with a variety of side dishes that complement its cheesy, comforting flavors. Here are some suggestions:
- Soup: A classic pairing with grilled cheese sandwiches, a bowl of tomato soup or creamy tomato basil soup is a fantastic option. The warmth and tanginess of the soup contrast nicely with the richness of the casserole.
- Salad: A fresh, crisp salad can balance the richness of the casserole. Consider a simple green salad with vinaigrette dressing or a Caesar salad with crunchy croutons.
- Roasted Vegetables: Roasted vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, or Brussels sprouts provide a delicious contrast in texture and flavor. The caramelization from roasting adds depth to the meal.
- Chips or Fries: For a more indulgent option, serve the casserole with some crispy French fries or potato chips. The crunchiness of the fries or chips pairs well with the creamy texture of the casserole.
