Three Cheeseburger Baked;

A deconstructed, easy-to-serve casserole with all the flavors of a cheeseburger.

Core Ingredients:
Base: 1 lb ground beef, 1 tube (8 oz) crescent roll dough.

"Burger" Layer: 1 onion (diced), 2 cloves garlic, ½ cup ketchup, 2 tbsp mustard, 2 tbsp pickle relish.

Three Cheeses: 1 cup shredded cheddar, 1 cup shredded mozzarella, 4 slices American cheese.

Toppings: Sesame seeds, chopped pickles, diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce (added after baking).

Simplified Procedure:
--Prep: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Unroll crescent dough and press into a greased 9x13 baking dish to form a crust.
--Cook Beef: Brown ground beef with onion and garlic. Drain fat. Stir in ketchup, mustard, and relish.
--Layer: Spread beef mixture over dough. Layer cheeses: first the shredded cheddar and mozzarella, then top with the slices of American cheese.
--Bake: Bake for 18-22 minutes, until crust is golden and cheese is bubbly.
--Top & Serve: Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Let cool for 5 minutes, then top with fresh lettuce, tomato, and pickles. Slice and serve.

Key Tip:
Let the bake rest for 5 minutes before adding fresh toppings and slicing—this makes it easier to serve clean portions.
