Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 4 slices cheddar cheese
- 4 burger buns
- 1 large egg
- 2 cups cooked spaghetti
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
How to Make Cheesy Burger Stack with Spaghetti
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
- Divide the mixture into four equal patties, making a slight indentation in the center of each patty to ensure even cooking.
- Preheat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F. In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.
- While the burgers are cooking, prepare the spaghetti. If not already cooked, boil the spaghetti according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- In the same pot, heat the marinara sauce until warm, then add the cooked spaghetti, tossing to coat evenly.
- To assemble, place a generous portion of spaghetti on the bottom half of each burger bun.
- Top the spaghetti with a cheesy burger patty, followed by the top half of the bun.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
Tips for the Best Results
- Choose high-quality ground beef for the best flavor.
- Allow the patties to rest for a few minutes before serving to retain their juices.
- Experiment with different cheeses for a unique flavor twist.
- For added flavor, toast the burger buns lightly before assembling.
Easy Variations
- Swap the ground beef for ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option.
- Add sautéed mushrooms or caramelized onions to the burger for extra flavor.
- Top with lettuce, tomato, or pickles for a fresh crunch.
- Use whole wheat or gluten-free buns to accommodate dietary needs.
What to Serve With It
- A side salad with vinaigrette dressing.
- Crispy sweet potato fries or regular fries.
- Grilled vegetables for a healthy addition.
- A refreshing coleslaw to balance the richness of the burger.
