Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 8 strips of bacon, cooked and crispy
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup marinara sauce
- 1 egg
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 4 burger buns
- Butter for toasting buns
- Fresh basil (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Burger Patties: Season ground beef with salt and pepper, form into 4 patties, and cook on a grill or stovetop until desired doneness (about 4-5 minutes per side).
- Make the Lasagna Filling: In a small bowl, mix ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, and egg until smooth.
- Layer the Lasagna on Burgers: Top each cooked burger patty with marinara sauce and a generous spoonful of the cheese mixture. Let it melt slightly.
- Cook the Bacon: Fry bacon strips until crispy, then set on paper towels to drain excess grease.
- Assemble the Burger: Toast burger buns with butter until golden. Place lasagna-topped patty on the bottom bun, add two bacon strips, and cover with the top bun.
- Serve: Garnish with fresh basil and an extra spoonful of marinara sauce, if desired.
Notes
- For extra meltiness, broil the burgers for 1-2 minutes after adding the cheese mixture.
- Swap ground beef for turkey or a plant-based patty for a lighter version.
- Use spicy marinara for a little heat!
