  • Flavor Explosion: Juicy beef, gooey cheese, and fresh toppings come together for a satisfying bite.
  • Customizable: Tailor it to your taste with different toppings and sauces.
  • Party Ready: Perfect for gatherings and celebrations.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef (80/20 blend)
  • 6 slices cheddar cheese
  • 3 hamburger buns
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 large tomato, sliced
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Oil for cooking
  • 2 cups frozen French fries

How to Make Triple Decker Cheeseburger

  1. Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. If using a skillet, add a little oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Divide the ground beef into three equal portions (about 5.3 ounces each) and shape them into patties. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
  3. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip them over. Place two slices of cheddar cheese on each patty and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the patties reach an internal temperature of 160°F.
  4. While the patties are cooking, prepare the French fries according to the package instructions.
  5. Toast the hamburger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.
  6. Assemble the burger by spreading mayonnaise on the bottom bun. Layer one beef patty with melted cheese, followed by a handful of shredded lettuce and a few slices of tomato.
  7. Add the second beef patty on top, repeat the layers of cheese, lettuce, and tomato, then finish with the third patty.
  8. Top with the final bun and secure with a skewer if needed. Serve immediately with a side of crispy fries.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Make sure your beef is at room temperature before cooking for even cooking.
  • Don’t press down on the patties while cooking; this keeps the juices inside for a more flavorful burger.
  • Feel free to experiment with different cheeses like American or pepper jack for a spicy kick.

Easy Variations

  • Add bacon for an extra crunch and flavor boost.
  • Swap out the beef patties for turkey or a plant-based alternative for a lighter option.
  • Top with pickles, onions, or your favorite barbecue sauce for a twist.

What to Serve With It

  • Crispy onion rings for added crunch.
  • A side salad for a refreshing contrast.
  • Coleslaw for a tangy, creamy side.
  • Sweet potato fries for a sweet touch.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the burger in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through. For the fries, bake in the oven at 400°F for about 10 minutes to regain their crispiness.
