Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef (80/20 blend)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 4 ounces cheddar cheese, sliced
• 4 ounces mozzarella cheese, sliced
• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 4 sesame seed burger buns
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Optional: lettuce, tomato, pickles for toppings

How to Make Cheesy Layered Burger Stack

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
2. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a burger patty. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing while cooking.
3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness. In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on two patties and a slice of mozzarella on the other two patties to melt.
4. While the patties are cooking, spread the softened cream cheese on the insides of each sesame seed bun.
5. Assemble the burgers by placing one patty with cheddar on the bottom bun, followed by a second patty with mozzarella. Top with the remaining patties, if desired, and finish with the top bun.
6. Slice the burgers in half for easy serving, and add any additional toppings like lettuce, tomato, or pickles.

Tips for the Best Results

• Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness; ground beef should reach an internal temperature of 160°F.
• Let the patties rest for a few minutes after cooking to retain their juices.
• Feel free to switch up the cheese types based on your preferences—pepper jack or gouda can add a nice kick!

Easy Variations

• Swap the ground beef for ground turkey or plant-based meat for a lighter option.
• Add sautéed mushrooms or caramelized onions between the layers for extra flavor.
• Experiment with different sauces like BBQ or spicy mayo for a unique twist.

What to Serve With It

• Crispy French fries or sweet potato fries for a classic pairing.
• A fresh garden salad to balance the richness of the burger.
• Coleslaw for a crunchy, creamy side.
• Nachos with cheese dip for a fun appetizer.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, pop the burger in the microwave for about 30-45 seconds, or warm it in a skillet over medium heat until heated through.
