Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon dried basil
- 0.5 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
- 4 pre-sliced hamburger buns
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish lightly with non-stick spray or butter.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the onion is softened and fragrant.
Stir in the salt, black pepper, dried oregano, dried basil, ketchup, and mustard. Mix well and let the mixture simmer over low heat for 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
Separate the tops and bottoms of the hamburger buns. Lay the bottom halves of the buns evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Spread half of the beef mixture evenly over the layer of buns. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top.
Layer the tops of the buns over the cheese and repeat the process, spreading the remaining beef mixture evenly over the buns and sprinkling 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and 1 cup of mozzarella cheese on top.
Drizzle the melted butter over the final cheese layer. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top if desired for extra texture.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden on top.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Layered Hamburger Bake!
