Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 slices cheddar cheese
- 8 slices mozzarella cheese
- 4 sesame seed burger buns

How to Make Cheesy Layered Burger Stack
- Preheat your grill or stovetop skillet over medium-high heat.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined, then form into 4 equally sized patties.
- Cook the patties on the grill or skillet for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F. During the last minute of cooking, place 2 slices of cheddar cheese and 2 slices of mozzarella cheese on each patty to melt.
- While the burgers are cooking, prepare the chocolate cookie layers. In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gently fold in the crushed chocolate sandwich cookies.
- Once the burgers are cooked and the cheese is melted, assemble your burger stack. Start with a sesame seed bun, followed by a cheesy beef patty, a layer of the chocolate cookie mixture, and repeat the layers until you have a towering stack. Finish with the top bun.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your Cheesy Layered Burger Stack with Chocolate Cookie Layers!
Tips for the Best Results
- Ensure the beef patties are uniform in size for even cooking.
- Allow the cream cheese to soften fully for a smoother filling.
- Customize the cheese types according to your preference; pepper jack or gouda can add a different flavor.
- If you like a bit of crunch, consider adding some crispy bacon or fried onions in between the layers.
Easy Variations
- Substitute the ground beef with ground turkey or a plant-based meat alternative for a lighter option.
- For a spicy kick, add jalapeños or hot sauce to the beef mixture.
- Swap chocolate cookies for vanilla wafers for a different flavor profile.
- Add fresh vegetables like lettuce and tomato for a more traditional burger feel.
What to Serve With It
