Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb 80/20 ground beef
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 4 slices provolone, mozzarella, or Parmesan cheese
  • 4 soft burger buns, toasted

Optional Toppings

  • Lettuce leaves
  • Tomato slices
  • Caramelized onions
  • Garlic aioli or preferred sauce

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Beef Mixture: Place ground beef in a large bowl. Add minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix gently and thoroughly without overworking to keep patties tender.
  2. Shape the Patties: Divide mixture into 4 equal portions. Shape each into a patty about ¾ inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each to prevent puffing during cooking.
  3. Cook the Patties: Preheat grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook patties 4 minutes on one side until browned. Flip, place a cheese slice on each patty, and cook another 3-4 minutes until cheese melts and internal temperature reaches 160°F.
  4. Toast the Buns: While patties cook, lightly toast burger buns on grill or pan until golden brown to add crunch and prevent sogginess.
  5. Assemble and Serve: Layer bottom bun with optional toppings like lettuce and tomato. Place hot patty with melted cheese on top. Add sauces such as garlic aioli if desired. Finish with top bun and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use Fresh Garlic: Freshly minced garlic delivers bright, pungent flavor that garlic powder can’t match.
  • Don’t Overmix: Mixing gently keeps patties tender and juicy instead of dense.
  • Indent Center of Patties: Prevents burgers from bulging and ensures even cooking.
  • Choose the Right Cheese: Select cheeses that melt well for an ooey-gooey finish.
  • Let Patties Rest: Rest cooked patties for a few minutes to retain juiciness.
