Garlic Dill Burgers Recipes

GARLIC OVERLOAD BURGERS WITH CREAMY GARLIC BURGER SAUCE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, minced garlic and Italian herbs and blend well. Divide into 4 equal portions.
• In a large bowl, mix the ground beef with the garlic powder and salt and pepper.
• Divide the hamburgers into 8 equal portions. Form the meat into balls and then flatten into a patty about 1/4" thick. Remember to make the burgers a bit over sized to account for shrinkage when cooking. In the middle of 4 patties, spoon some of the cream cheese mixture.
• Top each of the four patties with the cream cheese mixture with the patties without. Gently press the burgers together to form a large burger.
• Grill burgers as desired.
• When almost ready to remove burgers, add a slice of provolone cheese to the top of each burger. Allow cheese to melt by closing grill (or placing lid over burgers if using something other than a grill).
• In a saucepan, boil 1/4 cup of water over medium heat.
• Stir in the minced garlic and garlic powder. Boil until the water is nearly evaporated, about 5 minutes. It's okay for some water to remain, but you want very little.
• Stir in the heavy cream, Parsley, salt, and pepper.
• In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and 1/4 cup of water and stir until dissolved. Add to the cream mixture.
• Continue boiling, stirring constantly, until thickened. About 3 minutes.
• Remove from heat. It will continue to thicken upon cooling.
• Place burgers on bottoms of brioche buns.
• Spoon Creamy Garlic Burger Sauce over burger.
• Top with the top of the brioche bun.

SKINNY BURGERS WITH DILL SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat broiler. In a large bowl, combine the chopped onion, the parsley, garlic, and salt. Add beef; mix well. Shape into four 3/4-inch-thick patties.
• Place patties on the unheated rack of a broiler pan. Broil 3 to 4 inches from heat for 12 to 14 minutes or until done (160°F),* turning once halfway through broiling.
• (To grill, place burgers on the rack of a charcoal grill directly over medium coals. Grill, uncovered, for 14 to 18 minutes or until done [160°F],* turning once halfway through grilling. For a gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium. Place burgers on grill rack over heat. Cover and grill as above.)
• Meanwhile, for sauce: In a small bowl, combine yogurt, mustard, dill, and balsamic vinegar. Stir in chopped cucumber. Spoon sauce over burgers. If desired, serve with cucumber slices, tomato slices, red onion slices, and/or spinach leaves.
• *Note: The internal color of a burger is not a reliable doneness indicator. A beef patty cooked to 160°F is safe, regardless of color. To measure the doneness of a patty, insert an instant-read thermometer through the side of the patty to a depth of 2 to 3 inches.
