Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1Cut and Hollow the Bun
    A hamburger bun cut open with kitchen scissors, with the soft inner bread being scooped out.

    Take a hamburger bun and cut it open using kitchen scissors. Carefully scoop out the inner bread to create a hollow cavity inside the bun, allowing it to hold more filling.

    Tip: Scoop out enough of the bun so it can hold more filling without breaking through the bottom.
  2. 2Add the Cheese Layer
    A cheese slice placed inside the bottom half of the hollowed-out hamburger bun.

    Place a cheese slice directly at the bottom inside the hollowed-out hamburger bun, resting neatly in the cavity.

    Tip: Make sure the cheese slice covers the bottom of the hollowed bun to create a rich, melted base.
  3. 3Fill with Minced Beef
    Prepared minced beef filling spooned into the hamburger buns on top of the cheese slices.

    Spoon the prepared sautéed minced beef filling directly into the hollowed bun on top of the cheese slice.

    Tip: Press the beef filling down gently so it settles evenly inside the cheese-lined cavity.
  4. 4Top with Casar Cheese
    Fresh shredded Casar cheese being sprinkled over the beef filling inside the hollowed buns.

    Sprinkle a generous amount of fresh shredded Casar cheese evenly over the minced beef filling inside the buns.

    Tip: Ensure the cheese covers all the beef so it melts into a golden, gooey layer during baking.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, you can easily substitute Casar cheese with mozzarella, cheddar, or any good melting cheese you have on hand.
Placing a solid cheese slice directly at the bottom of the hollowed-out bun creates a protective barrier that keeps the bread from absorbing too much moisture from the beef filling.
You can hollow and fill the burgers in advance, but it is best to bake them right before serving so the cheese stays gooey and the bun stays crispy.
