Garlic Overload Creamy Burgers (Print View)

Juicy burgers filled with garlic, cream cheese, provolone, plus creamy garlic sauce, all on soft brioche buns.

# What You'll Need:

→ Cream Cheese Filling

01 - 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
02 - 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
03 - 1 teaspoon Italian herbs, dried

→ Beef Patties

04 - 1 pound ground beef
05 - 8 teaspoons garlic powder
06 - salt, to taste
07 - black pepper, to taste

→ Creamy Garlic Sauce

08 - 1/4 cup water
09 - 2 tablespoons garlic, minced
10 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
11 - 2 cups heavy cream
12 - 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
13 - salt, to taste
14 - black pepper, to taste
15 - 2 tablespoons cornstarch
16 - 1/4 cup water

→ Assembly

17 - 4 slices provolone cheese
18 - 4 brioche hamburger buns

# Directions:

01 - In a small bowl, cream together the softened cream cheese, minced garlic, and Italian herbs until thoroughly blended. Divide the mixture evenly into four portions.
02 - In a large bowl, combine ground beef with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until the seasonings are evenly distributed.
03 - Divide the seasoned beef into eight equal sections. Roll each into a ball, then flatten into 1/4-inch thick patties. Place one portion of the cream cheese filling onto the center of four patties. Top each stuffed patty with one of the remaining patties and seal the edges completely to form four large, stuffed burgers.
04 - Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Grill stuffed beef patties to desired doneness, flipping once during cooking. Near the end of grilling, place a slice of provolone cheese on each burger. Close lid and allow cheese to melt.
05 - In a saucepan over medium heat, bring 1/4 cup of water to a boil. Add minced garlic and garlic powder, simmer until water is almost evaporated, about 5 minutes. Stir in heavy cream, parsley, salt, and pepper. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with 1/4 cup water until smooth, then add to sauce. Continue cooking, stirring constantly, until sauce thickens, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat—sauce will thicken as it cools.
06 - Place a stuffed burger on the bottom half of each brioche bun. Spoon generous amount of creamy garlic sauce over the burger. Cap with the top half of the bun and serve immediately.

# Notes:

01 - Seal burger edges thoroughly to prevent cheese mixture from leaking while grilling.
