How to cook deliciously - Garlic Lover's Burger

1. Stage

Make bruschetta: combine all ingredients in a medium bowl and season with salt and pepper.

2. Stage

Form beef into 4 equally sized patties and season all over with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

3. Stage

Make garlic sauce: in a medium skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add garlic, and cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add flour and cook until no longer raw, 1 to 2 minutes more. Add milk, bring up to a simmer, and cook until thickened slightly, 2 to 3 minutes. (It should be gravy-like in consistency!) Then add cream cheese and cheeses and stir until they have melted completely and mixture is smooth. Season with salt and pepper and remove from heat.

4. Stage

Prep buns: brush cut side of buns with butter and toast in a large skillet over medium heat until golden. Rub cut side of garlic clove on toasted buns.

5. Stage

Heat a grill pan, large skillet, or grill over medium-high heat. Add burgers and grill until charred, about 4 minutes. Flip and cook until cooked to your liking, about 4 minutes more for medium.

6. Stage

Build burgers: place a handful of arugula on bottom bun, then top with burger, cheese sauce, bruschetta, and top bun.
