Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef (80/20 blend)
• 4 slices cheddar cheese
• 4 sesame seed burger buns
• 1 large tomato, sliced
• 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 cup shredded lettuce
• 1/2 cup dill pickles, sliced
• 1/4 cup ketchup
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking)

How to Make Ultimate Loaded Burger Stack

1. Preheat your grill or stovetop skillet over medium-high heat.
2. In a mixing bowl, season the ground beef with salt and pepper. Form the beef into four equal patties, making a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing up during cooking.
3. Add olive oil to the grill or skillet and place the patties on it. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side until a nice crust forms.
4. Flip the patties and place a slice of cheddar cheese on each one. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted and the internal temperature reaches 160°F for medium doneness.
5. While the patties are cooking, toast the sesame seed burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.
6. Assemble the burgers by spreading mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun, followed by lettuce, a cheesy beef patty, tomato slices, red onion, and pickles. Drizzle with ketchup and top with the other half of the bun.
7. Serve hot and enjoy your delicious loaded burger stack!
