My favorite part is always that little melty pocket at the core of every stack Thanks to my sister for the tip of pressing extra cheese in the middle it is seriously the best part My kids always fight for the golden cheesey bites at the center
Storage Tips
Leftover stacks hold up well in the fridge for up to three days Reheat in the microwave with a damp paper towel to keep the rice from drying out For longer storage wrap tightly and freeze individually then warm up straight from the freezer for a quick lunch
Ingredient Substitutions
Swap ground turkey or even plant based crumbles for the beef to lighten things up Smoked gouda or pepper jack swap nicely with the cheddar if you are out or want a different spin No ring mold Use a ramekin or just pack firmly by hand for a rustic version
Serving Suggestions
Pile stacks onto plates with extra pickles and some crisp iceberg lettuce for burger shop flair Drizzle with a little BBQ sauce or hot sauce for a tangy finish At my table we like to add a fried egg or a touch of hot sauce for a full on brunch stack
