Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 medium potatoes, cut into wedges
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Fresh parsley, for garnish
How to Make Cheesy Beef Stacks
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Form the beef mixture into 4 equal patties, about 1/2 inch thick.
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the beef patties for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C). Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- While the patties are cooking, toss the potato wedges in a bowl with olive oil, rosemary, thyme, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Spread the seasoned potato wedges on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- During the last 2 minutes of cooking the beef patties, top each one with cheddar cheese and cover the skillet to melt the cheese.
- To assemble, stack two cheesy beef patties on each plate and serve alongside the herbed potatoes. Garnish with fresh parsley.
Tips for the Best Results
- Let the beef patties rest for a couple of minutes after cooking to retain their juices.
- Experiment with different cheeses like Swiss or pepper jack for a twist.
- Ensure your potatoes are cut uniformly for even cooking.
Easy Variations
- Swap out the cheddar for feta or blue cheese for a bolder flavor.
- Add sautéed mushrooms or caramelized onions on top of the beef stacks for extra depth.
- For a lighter option, use ground turkey or chicken instead of beef.
What to Serve With It
- A fresh garden salad with a tangy vinaigrette.
- Creamy coleslaw for a crunchy side.
- Grilled vegetables for a healthy addition.
- Garlic bread to soak up all the delicious juices.
Storage and Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the beef stacks in the microwave or on a skillet over low heat until warmed through. The herbed potatoes can also be reheated in the oven or microwave.
