Ingredients

• 1 ½ pounds ground beef (80/20 blend for juiciness)
• 4 burger buns
• 4 slices of cheddar cheese
• 1 cup lettuce, shredded
• 1 large tomato, sliced
• ½ cup mayonnaise
• ½ cup salsa
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (for grilling)

How to Make Stacked Beef Burger with Fresh Veggies

1. Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly brush the grill with olive oil to prevent sticking.
2. In a large bowl, season the ground beef with salt and pepper. Divide the beef into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about ¾-inch thick.
3. Place the beef patties on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip the patties and place a slice of cheddar cheese on each one. Grill for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the beef is cooked to your desired doneness (internal temperature should reach 160°F).
4. While the patties are cooking, prepare the burger buns. Toast them lightly on the grill for about 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
5. Assemble your burgers: Spread a generous amount of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Place a beef patty with melted cheese on top, followed by shredded lettuce, a slice of tomato, and a spoonful of salsa.
6. Sprinkle the chopped cilantro over the top, then crown with the top half of the bun. For a stacked look, feel free to add another patty if you’re feeling adventurous!
7. Serve immediately and enjoy your stacked beef burger!

Tips for the Best Results

• Use a meat thermometer to ensure your beef patties are cooked perfectly.
• Let the patties rest for a few minutes after cooking to retain their juices.
• For added flavor, try mixing in some garlic powder or Worcestershire sauce into the beef before forming the patties.
• Experiment with different cheeses, such as pepper jack or blue cheese, for a unique twist.

Easy Variations

• Swap the beef for ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option.
• Add crispy bacon strips for an extra layer of flavor.
• Try different sauces like BBQ sauce or chipotle mayo for a spicy kick.
• Load up on other veggies like avocado slices, pickles, or grilled onions.

What to Serve With It

• Crispy sweet potato fries or classic French fries.
• A fresh garden salad dressed with vinaigrette.
• Grilled corn on the cob for a summer vibe.
• Potato salad or coleslaw for a hearty side.
