Cheeseburger Lava Cake Molten Melt

 🧀🔥 Cheeseburger Lava Cake Molten Melt 🍔💥

A juicy, cheesy explosion of burger bliss in every bite! 🤤

Ingredients:

* 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend recommended)

* 1 tsp garlic powder

* 1 tsp onion powder

* Salt & pepper to taste

* 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

* 4 thick slices of mozzarella or American cheese

* 1 egg (optional, for binding)

* 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (optional, for outer crust)

* 1 tbsp oil or butter for searing

* Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions:

1. In a bowl, season the ground beef with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Add egg and breadcrumbs if using, then mix until combined.

2. Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal parts. Flatten each into a patty.

3. Place a slice of cheese in the center of two patties, add some shredded cheddar, then top each with another patty. Seal the edges tightly to form a thick lava cake shape.

4. Heat oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Sear each lava burger on all sides until nicely browned (about 3-4 minutes per side).

5. Cover with a lid and reduce heat to low. Let it cook for another 5–7 minutes to allow the cheese inside to fully melt.

6. Serve hot with a sprinkle of chopped parsley and your favorite sauce or gravy.

Pro Tip:

For an extra crispy crust, roll the sealed lava cake in seasoned breadcrumbs before searing. Add a smoky BBQ drizzle for bonus flavor!
