The Bacon Lasagna Burger

Get ready for the ultimate comfort food mash-up: The Bacon Lasagna Burger! This towering creation combines two of your favorite meals—juicy burgers and cheesy lasagna—layered with crispy bacon, marinara sauce, and a rich, creamy cheese filling. It’s indulgence on a bun!

Ingredients:

1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend for juiciness)
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
Salt and pepper (to taste)
6 slices bacon (cooked crispy)
4 slices mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 tsp Italian seasoning
1 cup marinara sauce (warmed)
4 burger buns (toasted)
Fresh basil leaves (optional, for garnish)

Directions:

Prepare the Burger Patties: In a bowl, season the ground beef with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Form into 4 equal patties.

Cook the Burgers: Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Add a slice of mozzarella cheese on top of each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.

Mix the Cheese Filling: In a small bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning. Set aside.

Assemble the Burgers: On the bottom half of each toasted bun, layer the burger patty with melted mozzarella, then add a spoonful of the ricotta mixture, a slice of crispy bacon, and a spoonful of warmed marinara sauce. Add basil leaves if you want a fresh touch.

Top it Off: Place the top half of the bun over the lasagna-stacked burger and serve with extra marinara sauce for dipping.

This Bacon Lasagna Burger is a mouthwatering masterpiece, perfect for satisfying those big hunger cravings!
