Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Ricotta cheese
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 Egg
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil leaves (chopped)
- 1 cup Marinara sauce
- 4 Burger buns
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Butter
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties. Set aside.
In another mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, egg, and chopped basil. Stir until smooth and set aside.
Heat a large frying pan or grill over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil, then cook the burger patties for 4–5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Remove from heat and set aside to rest.
In the same pan (or a different pan if preferred), add the butter and toast the inside of the burger buns until golden brown. Remove from heat.
Preheat the oven broiler (or set up a toaster oven) on low. Place the cooked burger patties on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
Spread a spoonful of marinara sauce over each patty, then top with a generous layer of the ricotta cheese mixture.
Place the baking tray under the broiler and cook for 2–3 minutes, or until the ricotta cheese mixture is bubbly and starting to brown.
Assemble the burgers by placing each patty on the bottom half of a toasted bun. Add an extra spoonful of marinara sauce if desired, then top with the other half of the bun.
Serve immediately with a side salad or fries, and enjoy your Lasagna Burgers!
