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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish lightly with non-stick spray or butter.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess grease.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Spread half of the beef mixture evenly over the layer of buns. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Drizzle the melted butter over the final cheese layer. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top if desired for extra texture.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Layered Hamburger Bake!
