Ingredients

- 4 slices cheddar cheese
- 4 sesame seed burger buns
- 1 large tomato, sliced
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup dill pickles, sliced

How to Make Ultimate Loaded Burger Stack
- Preheat your grill or stovetop skillet over medium-high heat.
- In a mixing bowl, season the ground beef with salt and pepper. Form the beef into four equal patties, making a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing up during cooking.
- Add olive oil to the grill or skillet and place the patties on it. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side until a nice crust forms.
- Flip the patties and place a slice of cheddar cheese on each one. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted and the internal temperature reaches 160°F for medium doneness.
- While the patties are cooking, toast the sesame seed burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.
- Assemble the burgers by spreading mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun, followed by lettuce, a cheesy beef patty, tomato slices, red onion, and pickles. Drizzle with ketchup and top with the other half of the bun.
- Serve hot and enjoy your delicious loaded burger stack!
Tips for the Best Results
- Use high-quality ground beef for the juiciest patties.
- Don’t overwork the meat; gentle handling keeps the burgers tender.
- Experiment with different cheeses like pepper jack or blue cheese for added flavor.
- For extra flavor, marinate the patties in your favorite sauce before cooking.
Easy Variations
- Add crispy bacon strips for a smoky crunch.
- Swap beef for turkey or plant-based patties for a lighter option.
- Include avocado slices or jalapeños for a creamy or spicy kick.
What to Serve With It
- Crispy sweet potato fries
- Classic coleslaw
- Grilled corn on the cob
- Onion rings
- A fresh garden salad
Storage and Reheating
Leftover burger patties can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through. Buns are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in a zip-top bag for up to 2 days.
