Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend recommended)
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 hamburger buns
- Your favorite burger toppings (e.g., cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion)
Instructions
- Step 1: In a large bowl, gently combine the ground beef, minced garlic, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Avoid overmixing, as this can result in tough burgers.
- Step 2: Form the mixture into four equal-sized patties, slightly larger than your buns to allow for shrinkage during cooking. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from bulging during cooking.
- Step 3: Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked to your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
- Step 4: While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the hamburger buns.
- Step 5: Once the burgers are cooked, place them on the toasted buns and top with your favorite toppings.
- Step 6: Serve immediately and enjoy your Garlic Overload Burgers!
Notes
- Store leftover cooked burgers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave to avoid drying them out, adding a splash of water or a pat of butter for extra moisture.
- Serve your Garlic Overload Burgers on pretzel buns for a deliciously salty and crunchy contrast.
- To maximize garlic flavor, let the ground beef mixture rest for 15 minutes in the refrigerator before forming the patties; this allows the flavors to meld.
