Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 for juiciness)
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 4 hamburger buns
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder

How to Make Broccoli and Beef Burger Stack
- Preheat your grill or stovetop skillet to medium-high heat.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined, then form into 4 equal patties.
- Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the broccoli florets and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until tender-crisp. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Grill or cook the beef patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.
- While the patties are cooking, toast the hamburger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.
- Assemble the burger: Place a beef patty on the bottom half of each bun, top with sautéed broccoli, a generous drizzle of barbecue sauce, and any additional toppings you desire. Finish with the top bun.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the towering burger experience!
Tips for the Best Results
