The Bacon Lasagna Burger is a show-stopping fusion of two favorites: a juicy bacon cheeseburger layered with rich lasagna elements! With creamy ricotta, marinara sauce, melted mozzarella, and crispy bacon, this towering creation is a fun twist on classic comfort foods, perfect for anyone looking to level up their burger game.
Ingredients
- Prepare the Ricotta Mixture: In a small bowl, combine ricotta, shredded mozzarella, Parmesan, and Italian seasoning. Mix until well-blended and set aside.
- Form and Season the Patties: Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions and shape into burger patties. Season both sides of each patty with salt and pepper.
- Cook the Burgers: In a skillet or on a grill over medium-high heat, cook the patties to your preferred doneness (about 4-5 minutes per side for medium). In the final minute of cooking, place a slice of mozzarella cheese on each patty to melt.
- Assemble the Burger:
- Spread a layer of marinara sauce on the bottom half of each burger bun.
- Place the cheeseburger patty on top of the sauce.
- Add a layer of the ricotta mixture on top of the patty, followed by a spoonful of marinara sauce.
- Top with a slice or two of crispy bacon.
- Finish with fresh basil leaves if desired, then place the top bun on to complete the burger.
- Serve: Serve immediately with extra marinara on the side for dipping!
Instructions
- For added lasagna flavor, sprinkle extra Parmesan on top of the ricotta layer.
- You can toast the buns for extra texture and flavor.
