Garlic Overload Burgers

For all the garlic lovers, this burger is for you - stuffed with garlic cream cheese and topped with a creamy garlic sauce!

Hello, hello. I’m sure I’ll be working on posting old recipes for a while, but I have posted at least 5 of them so far, if you’re interested. I would love to redo pictures on some of them and others I have already redone the pictures. As I post, I’ll be working to update the Recipe Index page. In other news, today’s recipe is for all the garlic fans out there. I personally love garlic and really enjoyed this burger that is loaded with garlic. The inside has a garlic cream cheese filling and there is a creamy garlic sauce to top it.

What you need:

For the cream cheese mixture:

• 4 oz. cream cheese, softened

• 1 Tbsp. minced garlic cloves

• 1 tsp. Italian herbs

For the burgers:

• 2 lb. ground beef

• 6 tsp. garlic powder

• Salt and pepper to taste

• 4 slices Provolone cheese

• 4 Brioche buns

For the creamy garlic sauce:

• 1/4 cup water

• 2 Tbsp. minced garlic cloves

• 1 tsp. garlic powder

• 2 cups heavy cream

• 1 Tbsp. fresh parsley, chopped

• Salt and pepper to taste

• 2 Tbsp. cornstarch

• 1/4 cup water

Directions:

1. For the cream cheese mixture: Combine cream cheese, garlic, and Italian herbs. Mix well and divide into 4 portions

2. For the burgers: In a large bowl, combined ground beef with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

3. Divide burger into 8 equal portions and form them into patties about 1/4-inch thick.

4. On 4 of the patties, add a portion of the cream cheese mixture.

5. On top of each of those patties, top with a plain patty. Gently press together to form a larger burger.

6. Grill or cook as desired. When almost done, add a slice of provolone on each and allow to melt.

7. For the creamy garlic sauce: While burgers are cooking, boil 1/4 cup water in a medium saucepan.

8. Stir in minced garlic and garlic powder. Boil until water has almost evaporated, about 5 minutes.

9. Stir in heavy cream, parsley, salt, and pepper.

10. In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and 1/4 cup water until well combined. Then add to saucepan.

11. Continue to boil, while stirring, until it thickens, about 3 minutes.

12. Remove from heat.

13. For assembly: Place burgers on brioche buns and spoon creamy garlic sauce on top.
