Ingredients

Scale

Beef Mixture

  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20 lean-to-fat ratio)
  • 2 garlic cloves, freshly minced
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Buns and Cheese

  • 4 burger buns, soft and slightly toasted
  • 4 cheese slices (mozzarella or provolone recommended)

Optional Toppings

  • Lettuce leaves
  • Tomato slices
  • Pickles
  • Caramelized onions

Instructions

  1. Prepare the beef mixture: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef with minced garlic, grated parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix gently to combine all ingredients evenly without overworking the meat, which keeps your burger tender and juicy.
  2. Shape the patties: Divide the mixture into equal portions, typically 4 for 1 pound of beef. Shape each into a patty about ¾ inch thick, pressing a small indentation in the center to help them cook evenly.
  3. Cook the patties: Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4 minutes per side until nicely browned and cooked through. Place cheese slices on top during the last minute of cooking to melt perfectly.
  4. Toast the buns and assemble: Lightly toast your burger buns on the grill or in a pan for added crunch and warmth. Layer your patty with preferred toppings, then crown with the top bun.
  5. Serve and enjoy: Serve your Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger immediately while hot and juicy, accompanied by your favorite sides.

Notes

  • Use room temperature beef for even cooking and juiciness.
  • Do not overmix the beef to prevent tough burgers.
  • Indent patties to avoid puffing during cooking.
  • Let burgers rest a few minutes after cooking to keep juices locked in.
  • Use freshly grated parmesan for better flavor and meltability.
