Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef (80/20 blend)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 8 slices cheddar cheese
• 8 slices mozzarella cheese
• 4 sesame seed burger buns
• 1 cup dill pickle slices
• Optional: lettuce, tomato, ketchup, and mustard for serving

How to Make Cheesy Stacked Burger

1. Preheat your grill or stovetop skillet over medium-high heat.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
3. Divide the beef mixture into 8 equal portions and shape into patties, about 1/2 inch thick.
4. Place the patties on the grill or skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side until browned.
5. Flip the patties and place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the patties reach an internal temperature of 160°F.
6. During the last minute of cooking, place the mozzarella cheese slices on top of the cheddar for extra cheesiness.
7. While the patties finish cooking, lightly toast the sesame seed buns on the grill or skillet until golden brown.
8. Assemble your burger by stacking two beef patties on each bun, adding dill pickle slices, and any additional toppings you desire.
9. Serve immediately and enjoy your Cheesy Stacked Burger!
