You can ask the title company who closed the escrow to tell you who is insured by title insurance as owner(s) of the house.
Man, you should keep these kind of records, too, yourself.
Maybe all she signed was a quitclaim deed to you to give you sole ownership.
If she is on title, and,
Well if it is just like you told it, and she did not contribute to the house in any way for down payment, upkeep, mortgage payment or anything else except lying on the couch and throwing popcorn at the TV, then maybe you got a case for politely asking her to sign her interest in the house back to you.
On the other hand, If she contributed in any way, however minor in your eyes, then she might have a basis for believing she is entitled to some interest in the house.
If you and she cannot agree on a fair split you can pay an arbitrator, a mediator or even go to court with lawyers to sort it out. Of course all that professional talent will get paid with what little equity either of you had left in the house, if any. And it will have been a great big waste.

2 issues...
(1) who is on title - check deed of trust
(2) who is on the loan - check with lender to see who is legally obligated to pay the loan.

Start with the deed of trust. That document will show who the owner is. If your girlfriend is on that document, she is part owner. Also, look in your county recorder's online site and see who the county believes the owner is.
