This recipe can make four, regular sized garlic beef patties but is actually meant to serve two, extra large, garlic burgers.

Steps

20 mins

1

Mix everything together very well. Except for the swiss cheese, vegetables, butter and bread.
2

Divide mixed meat in half and create two 1 pound burger patties. Or, create four medium sized if you'd like. For larger buns, press meat thinner than usual and poke five [M&M sized holes] throughout each burger to keep them from shrinking in circumference.
3

Grill burgers over charcoal or pan fry patties with lid and fry until fully cooked. Usually 4 minutes on each side for 1 pounders and 2.5 to 3 minutes on each side for 1/2 pounders. Be careful not to burn burgers though! Trust me, garlic tastes terrible when burnt!
4

Place two slices of Swiss Cheese on top of fully cooked meat and cover with lid until melted.
5

Place 1 tablespoon butter in pan and sprinkle the pan with garlic powder. Place 2 buns [flat side down] into simmering garlic butter until lightly browned and crispy at the edges. Repeat pan sear for all buns.
6

Serve these burgers with chilled, sliced tomatoes and white onions on the side. The condiments served are completely up to you but a homemade Garlic Aoli or even most mustards go great with these burgers! Grilled onions are also a fantastic option.
