The Ultimate Sausage & Cheese Burger Stack: A Hearty, Flavor-Packed Burger Experience

In a mixing bowl, combine the ground pork sausage, breadcrumbs, parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well incorporated. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into round patties that are slightly larger than your burger buns (they will shrink slightly during cooking).

Cook the Sausage Patties:
Heat a large skillet or grill over medium heat and lightly coat with olive oil. Add the sausage patties to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes per side or until they are fully cooked through and browned on the outside. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheese on each patty and cover the skillet to melt the cheese.

Toast the Buns:
While the sausage patties are cooking, slice the hamburger buns in half and toast them lightly on a separate pan or in a toaster until golden brown.

Assemble the Burgers:
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard to create a simple burger sauce. Spread the sauce on both sides of each toasted bun. Place a sausage patty with melted cheese on the bottom bun, then layer with a slice of tomato, some lettuce, and thinly sliced onions. If you like, you can also add pickles for extra crunch and tang. Top with the other half of the bun.

Serve:
Serve the Ultimate Sausage & Cheese Burger Stack immediately with your favorite sides, like crispy fries, onion rings, or a fresh salad.
