Ingredients

• 2 pounds ground beef (80/20 blend)
• 8 slices of cheddar cheese
• 4 sesame seed hamburger buns
• 1 cup shredded lettuce
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1/4 cup dill pickle slices
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Cooking oil, for grilling

How to Make Stacked Cheesy Burger

1. Preheat your grill or stovetop griddle over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
2. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
3. Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and form them into patties that are slightly larger than your buns, as they will shrink while cooking.
4. Place the patties on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side until browned. Flip the patties and immediately place a slice of cheese on each one.
5. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the internal temperature of the beef reaches 160°F for medium doneness.
6. While the burgers are cooking, lightly toast the sesame seed buns on the grill until golden brown.
7. Assemble the burgers by spreading mayonnaise on the bottom bun, adding a layer of shredded lettuce, followed by two beef patties topped with melted cheese, and finishing with dill pickle slices. Place the top bun on and secure with a skewer if needed.
8. Repeat the assembly for the remaining burgers and serve immediately.

Tips for the Best Results

• Choose ground beef with some fat content (80/20) for juicier patties.
• Avoid squishing the patties while cooking to retain their juices.
• Experiment with different cheeses like Swiss or pepper jack for added flavor.
• For extra flavor, season the patties with your favorite spices or herbs.

Easy Variations

• Add crispy bacon slices for a smoky flavor.
• Include avocado slices or guacamole for creaminess.
• Swap the beef for turkey or plant-based patties for a lighter option.
• Use BBQ sauce instead of mayonnaise for a tangy twist.

What to Serve With It

• Crispy potato wedges or French fries.
• A refreshing coleslaw salad.
• Grilled corn on the cob.
• Sweet potato fries for a healthier side.
• A light garden salad.
