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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Roast the garlic in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the cloves are soft and golden.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal parts and shape them into round patties, about 1/2 inch thick.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Heat a grill or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the cooking surface with the remaining olive oil.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

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.

Step 11

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.

Step 12

Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Roasted Garlic Burger!
