Ingredients

  • 8 sesame seed burger buns
  • 1 pound ground beef (80/20 blend)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 medium tomato, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

How to Make Cheesy Pull-Apart Burger Stack

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  3. Add the ground beef to the skillet. Season with salt, pepper, oregano, and paprika. Cook until browned, about 6-8 minutes, breaking it apart with a spoon.
  4. Once the beef is cooked through, remove from heat and stir in half of both the cheddar and mozzarella cheeses until melted and combined.
  5. Slice the sesame seed buns in half horizontally, keeping the tops and bottoms intact. Arrange the bottom halves on a baking sheet.
  6. Spread the cheesy beef mixture evenly over the bottom halves of the buns.
  7. Top with diced tomatoes and the remaining cheese, then place the top halves of the buns over the cheese.
  8. Cover the entire stack with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
  9. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  10. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Use a mix of cheeses for more flavor—try adding pepper jack for some heat.
  • Don’t overcook the beef; it should remain juicy for the best texture.
  • Allow the stack to cool for a few minutes before slicing to maintain its shape.

Easy Variations

  • Swap the ground beef for ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option.
  • Add sautéed onions or bell peppers for extra flavor and texture.
  • Drizzle with your favorite sauce, like BBQ or ranch, before serving.

What to Serve With It

  • Crispy potato wedges or sweet potato fries
  • A fresh garden salad with a zesty vinaigrette
  • Pickles and jalapeños for an extra kick
  • A selection of dipping sauces like ketchup, mustard, or ranch

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the burger stack in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or until warmed through.
