1. Preheat your oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 9-inch springform pan or deep cake pan.
2. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix until well incorporated but do not overwork the meat.
3. Press half of the refrigerated biscuit dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form a crust.
4. Spread half of the ground beef mixture evenly over the biscuit crust. Bake for 15 minutes until the dough is lightly golden and the beef is just cooked through.
5. Remove the pan from the oven, layer half the cheddar and American cheese slices over the beef, then add diced pickles, onions, and tomatoes. Spread a thin layer of mustard and ketchup on top.
6. Press the remaining biscuit dough over the layered ingredients to cover completely, then add the remaining ground beef over the top layer.
7. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top. Bake for another 20 minutes, or until the top is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
8. Let the torte cool for 5 minutes, then carefully remove from the pan. Garnish with shredded lettuce before slicing and serving.

Tips for the Best Results

• Use fresh ground beef with some fat content (80/20) for juicy, flavorful layers.
• Don’t overmix the beef to keep the texture tender.
• Customize the cheese blend with your favorites, such as pepper jack or Swiss for a twist.
• Remove excess moisture from diced tomatoes to prevent soggy layers.
• Let the torte rest a few minutes after baking for easier slicing and better flavor melding.

Storage and Reheating

Store leftover cheeseburger-torte in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze portions wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and foil for up to 1 month.

To reheat, warm individual slices in the microwave for about 1-2 minutes or reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F for 10-12 minutes until heated through and cheese is melted again.
