# Ingredients You'll Need:
→ For the Burger Patties
01 -
1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend)
02 -
1 tsp Italian seasoning
03 -
Salt, to taste
04 -
Black pepper, to taste
→ For the Cheese & Sauce Layers
05 -
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
06 -
1/2 cup marinara sauce
07 -
1/2 cup shredded fresh mozzarella cheese
→ For the Garlic Herb Buns
08 -
2 burger buns
09 -
2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
10 -
1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
11 -
1/4 tsp garlic powder
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
In a bowl, gently combine ground beef with Italian seasoning. Form into two patties slightly larger than the buns. Season with salt and pepper.
02 -
Heat grill to high, then reduce to medium-high. Grill patties for about 3 minutes per side until desired doneness is reached.
03 -
Mix butter with Italian seasoning and garlic powder. Spread on buns and grill cut-side down until golden and aromatic.
04 -
Place marinara on bottom bun, add patty, dollop ricotta, more marinara, and top with mozzarella. Repeat layers if patties are thick.
05 -
Melt cheese using a broiler for 1-2 minutes or via indirect grill heat with foil. Cheese should be fully melted and slightly golden.
06 -
Top with the remaining bun and serve hot. Use knife and fork if needed to enjoy layered texture and flavor.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
Layer sauce beneath the patty to prevent soggy buns and finish with mozzarella on top for optimal melt.
02 -
Form patties gently to avoid dense texture and ensure juicy, tender bites.
03 -
Shred mozzarella yourself for better melt and authentic texture.
