A lasagne burger recipe has been circulating on social media, and it actually makes a surprising amount of sense.
As burger spots chase ever-more gourmet creations, this mash-up pairs an American staple with a classic Italian comfort.
At its heart the idea fuses two favorite comfort dishes: lasagne and burgers.
The pasta layers, rich tomato sauce, and creamy cheeses in lasagne sit well beside a juicy burger patty.
The contrast of textures and flavors produces a filling, indulgent meal you can hold in one hand.
On Facebook, Margaret Glass shared a recipe that calls for minced beef, marinara sauce, cheese, bacon and burger buns.
The method is simple. Top each patty with marinara, shredded mozzarella and a slice of provolone. Cook until the cheese melts.
Glass says it takes about 10 minutes to prepare and 15 minutes to cook, so you can have this burger ready in under half an hour.
