Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 1 whole Garlic bulb
- 2 teaspoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese slices
- 4 whole Burger buns
- 4 whole Lettuce leaves
- 4 whole Tomato slices
- 4 whole Onion slices
- 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice off the top of the garlic bulb to expose the cloves. Drizzle 1 teaspoon of olive oil on top and wrap the bulb in aluminum foil.
Roast the garlic in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the cloves are soft and golden.
While the garlic roasts, prepare the burger patties. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and onion powder. Mix gently until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal parts and shape them into round patties, about 1/2 inch thick.
Once the garlic is roasted, let it cool slightly. Squeeze the cloves out of their skin into a small bowl and mash them into a paste.
Mix the garlic paste into the beef patties by spreading a small amount across the top of each patty and working it into the surface carefully.
Heat a grill or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the cooking surface with the remaining olive oil.
Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes per side for medium doneness, or adjust the time based on your preference. Top each patty with a slice of cheddar cheese during the final minute of cooking and cover with a lid to melt the cheese.
Toast the burger buns by spreading a thin layer of butter on the cut sides and placing them on the grill or skillet until golden and crisp.
Assemble the burgers by spreading 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the bottom bun, followed by a lettuce leaf, a cooked patty with melted cheese, a slice of tomato, and a slice of onion. Top with the other half of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Roasted Garlic Burger!
