Ingredients

• 2 pounds ground beef (80/20 blend for optimal juiciness)
• 8 slices sharp cheddar cheese
• 4 large burger buns
• 1 cup lettuce, shredded
• ½ cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• Salt and pepper to taste

How to Make Stacked Cheeseburger

1. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined; avoid overworking the meat.
2. Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, making a slight indentation in the center to prevent puffing during cooking.
3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Once hot, place the patties on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side.
4. Flip the patties and immediately place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty. Grill for another 4-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the internal temperature of the beef reaches 160°F.
5. While the patties are cooking, toast the burger buns on the grill for about 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
6. Assemble the burgers: Spread mayonnaise and Dijon mustard on the bottom half of each bun, then layer with shredded lettuce, a cheeseburger patty, and the top half of the bun.
7. For a stacked effect, add additional patties and cheese as desired before closing the burger.
8. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious stacked cheeseburgers!

Tips for the Best Results

• Use a meat thermometer to ensure your patties are cooked through to a safe temperature.
• Let the patties rest for a few minutes after grilling to keep them juicy.
• Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese for added flavor.
• For extra flavor, marinate the patties in your favorite BBQ sauce before grilling.

Easy Variations

• Swap out cheddar cheese for pepper jack or blue cheese for a different flavor profile.
• Add toppings such as grilled onions, bacon, or avocado for a gourmet twist.
• For a healthier option, use turkey or plant-based patties instead of beef.

What to Serve With It

• Crispy French fries or sweet potato fries
• Coleslaw for a refreshing crunch
• Grilled corn on the cob
• A simple green salad
• Potato salad for a classic BBQ side
