For the record, Americans refer to all ground beef as hamburger, cooked or raw. Hence the once-popular boxed dinner called "Hamburger Helper", which allows you to prepare something stroganoff-adjacent with the contents of the box and a pound (unit of weight) of hamburger (ground beef).
Yes, English (Simplified) really sounds like it’s how 5-year olds talk.
Hamburger in lasagne?
Meh, I'm no patriot, but I think American English is largely fine. Minced meat sounds gross, and for some reason when you drop the 'd' it means fruit. So yes;
Hamburger in lasagna
Hamburger in meatloaf
Hamburger in Shepherd's Pie (no one's ever heard of cottage pie)
Not hamburger in tacos, once cooked and seasoned we call that taco meat (you may have a point).
