Garlic Lovers Burger Recipes

GARLIC OVERLOAD BURGERS WITH CREAMY GARLIC BURGER SAUCE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, minced garlic and Italian herbs and blend well. Divide into 4 equal portions.
• In a large bowl, mix the ground beef with the garlic powder and salt and pepper.
• Divide the hamburgers into 8 equal portions. Form the meat into balls and then flatten into a patty about 1/4" thick. Remember to make the burgers a bit over sized to account for shrinkage when cooking. In the middle of 4 patties, spoon some of the cream cheese mixture.
• Top each of the four patties with the cream cheese mixture with the patties without. Gently press the burgers together to form a large burger.
• Grill burgers as desired.
• When almost ready to remove burgers, add a slice of provolone cheese to the top of each burger. Allow cheese to melt by closing grill (or placing lid over burgers if using something other than a grill).
• In a saucepan, boil 1/4 cup of water over medium heat.
• Stir in the minced garlic and garlic powder. Boil until the water is nearly evaporated, about 5 minutes. It's okay for some water to remain, but you want very little.
• Stir in the heavy cream, Parsley, salt, and pepper.
• In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and 1/4 cup of water and stir until dissolved. Add to the cream mixture.
• Continue boiling, stirring constantly, until thickened. About 3 minutes.
• Remove from heat. It will continue to thicken upon cooling.
• Place burgers on bottoms of brioche buns.
• Spoon Creamy Garlic Burger Sauce over burger.
• Top with the top of the brioche bun.

GARLIC LOVER'S BURGER

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients together (except ground pepper) and form into patties of your preferred size and thickness.
• Grill burgers to your preferred doneness (rare to well-done). Crack fresh ground pepper over the burgers as they grill.
• If desired, salt burger to taste and top with cheese in the last minute or so of grilling so that it melts down over the burger. Burger already has soy sauce, so I find that salt is unnecessary.
• Place burger on your favorite bun, add toppings, and dig in!
• Options: Add any of the optional ingredients to the mix before grilling. Fresh minced onions add alot of flavor, but not everyone likes onions. Adding black beans is an easy way to bulk up the mix and add some great fiber and nutrition. You might wish to try just half a can the first time, if you're unsure you'll like them. For burgers that verge on meatloaf, add about 1/4 cup of spaghetti or pizza sauce to the mix (and/or top the formed patties with additional sauce when grilling).

GARLIC BURGER

Steps:

• Divide ground beef into 8 small balls.
• Combine salt, black pepper, onion salt, and garlic salt together in a small bowl.
• Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat and add the minced garlic. Cook until the garlic butter becomes fragrant.
• Brush the garlic butter onto the cut side of the buns and place the buns on the skillet to toast. Toast the buns long enough so the bread begins to brown.
• Place the buns cut side down in the skillet and toast until lightly browned.
• Brush a small amount of the butter on top of the ground beef balls and then sprinkle some garlic salt on top.
• Heat a skillet to medium-high heat. (Cast iron recommended)
• Place the ground beef balls in the skillet and use a spatula to press the balls into patties.
• Season patties with the seasoning mixture.
• When the burgers have browned on one side, flip them over and add a slice of cheese to each patty. Cook to desired doneness.
• Place two patties onto each bun.
• Add any desired toppings. Enjoy!
