- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend) - 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese - 2 cloves garlic, minced - 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce - 1 teaspoon onion powder - 1 teaspoon black pepper - Salt to taste - 4 slices of cheddar cheese - 4 burger buns - Lettuce leaves - Tomato slices - Pickles (optional) - Garlic aioli (for spreading) The key to a great garlic Parmesan cheeseburger is the right mix of flavors. I use a blend of 80/20 ground beef. This mix gives the burger a juicy texture. Adding grated Parmesan cheese boosts the flavor. The minced garlic provides a fresh kick. Worcestershire sauce adds depth, while onion powder and black pepper enhance the taste. For toppings, I love using crisp lettuce and ripe tomato slices. Pickles add a nice crunch if you like them. The garlic aioli is a must for spreading on the bun. It ties all the flavors together. One serving of this cheeseburger offers about 500 calories. It has 30 grams of protein, 30 grams of fat, and 35 grams of carbs. For those watching carbs, you can use lettuce wraps instead of buns. This change keeps the flavor while lowering the carb count. You can also try gluten-free buns if needed. This garlic Parmesan cheeseburger is not just tasty; it's also versatile. You can make it fit your diet and enjoy a delicious meal. For the full recipe, check out the details above. 1. In a big bowl, combine the ground beef, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Mix gently. Avoid overworking the meat to keep it juicy. 2. Divide the mixture into four equal parts and shape them into patties. Make a small depression in the center of each patty. This helps them cook evenly and prevents bulging. 3. Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. It should feel hot before you add the patties. 1. Place the patties on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes without pressing down on them. This keeps the juices inside. 2. Flip the patties carefully. Place a slice of cheddar cheese on each one. Cook for another 4-5 minutes. You want the cheese to melt and the burger to reach 160°F (70°C). 3. While the patties cook, toast your burger buns. You can use the grill or a toaster. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning. 1. To build your burger, spread garlic aioli on the bottom half of each toasted bun. This gives a great flavor boost. 2. Place the cooked burger patty on top. Add a lettuce leaf and tomato slice. If you like, add pickles too. 3. Finish with the top half of the bun. Serve right away! Pair it with fries or a side salad for a tasty meal. For the detailed recipe, check out the Full Recipe. How do you achieve the perfect burger doneness? Start by using a meat thermometer. For medium, aim for an internal temperature of 160°F. If you like it rare, go for 130°F. Insert the thermometer into the side of the patty for the best reading. Grilling and skillet cooking have their perks. A grill adds a nice smoky flavor. Preheat it well to avoid sticking. If using a skillet, choose non-stick for easy flipping. Add a touch of oil to prevent sticking. Cook over medium-high heat for a great sear. What are some substitutions for dietary preferences? For a vegan option, swap ground beef for a plant-based burger. You can find many tasty brands. Use dairy-free cheese instead of Parmesan or cheddar. Look for options made from nuts or soy. You can still enjoy a delicious garlic Parmesan cheeseburger in a way that fits your diet. {{image_2}} You can easily change up your garlic Parmesan cheeseburger in fun ways. Try a spicy garlic Parmesan cheeseburger. Just add some diced jalapeños or hot sauce to the meat mix. This gives a nice kick to each bite. You will love the heat paired with the garlic and cheese. Another great option is the Mediterranean garlic cheeseburger. Add some chopped olives and feta cheese to the beef. This twist brings a fresh and tangy taste. Top it with tzatziki sauce instead of garlic aioli for extra flavor. Cheese can change the whole taste of your burger. If you want a strong flavor, try blue cheese. It adds a rich and bold taste that many enjoy. For a spicy kick, use pepper jack cheese. Its creamy texture and spices will make your burger stand out. You can mix and match these cheeses with the garlic Parmesan for a new favorite. Toppings bring your burger to life. Avocado adds creaminess and healthy fats. Slice it up and place it on top. A fried egg can also make your burger special. The runny yolk adds richness that blends well with the other flavors. Sautéed mushrooms are another tasty option. Their earthy taste goes perfectly with the garlic and cheese. Just cook them in a bit of butter until soft, then pile them on. Each of these toppings can enhance your garlic Parmesan cheeseburger and make it uniquely yours. For the full recipe, check out the Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger section. To store cooked patties, let them cool first. Place them in an airtight container. Store them in the fridge for up to three days. If you want to keep them longer, freeze the patties. Wrap each patty in plastic wrap and then put them in a freezer bag. They can last up to three months in the freezer. For assembled burgers, it’s best to store them unassembled. The buns can get soggy. Keep the lettuce and tomato separate. Wrap each burger in foil or plastic wrap. Store them in the fridge for one day. To reheat the patties, use a skillet or grill. Heat the skillet over medium heat. Add the patties and cook for about three minutes on each side. This keeps them juicy and flavorful. If you prefer the oven, preheat it to 350°F (175°C). Place the patties on a baking sheet and cover with foil. Heat for about 10-12 minutes. This method also keeps the burgers moist. For assembled burgers, remove any cold toppings first. Then, reheat the burger in a skillet or microwave. If you use the microwave, heat in short bursts to prevent it from drying out. Enjoy your delicious garlic Parmesan cheeseburger even as leftovers!

Ingredients
  

1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend)

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon black pepper

Salt to taste

4 slices of cheddar cheese

4 burger buns

Lettuce leaves

Tomato slices

Pickles (optional)

Garlic aioli (for spreading)

Instructions
 

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, black pepper, and a pinch of salt. Mix gently until just combined—avoid overworking the meat.

    Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into patties, making a slight depression in the center of each to prevent bulging while cooking.

      Preheat your grill or a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the patties on the grill/skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side.

        Flip the patties carefully and place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty. Cook for another 4-5 minutes for medium doneness or until the cheese is melted and the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C).

          While the patties are cooking, toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

            Assemble the cheeseburgers by spreading garlic aioli on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Place the burger patty on top, followed by a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, and pickles if desired. Top with the other half of the bun.

              Serve immediately, paired with your favorite fries or a side salad.
