Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 small onion, thinly sliced
• 0 salt
• 0 pepper
• 0 garlic powder
• 0 paprika
• 4 slices American cheese
• 2 tbsp butter
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 0.5 tsp garlic powder
• 0.5 tsp smoked paprika
• 0.5 tsp Italian seasoning
• 0 salt
• 0 pepper
• 0.5 cup freshly grated Parmesan
• 4 burger buns
• 0 butter
• 0 fresh parsley

Instructions

1. Divide the ground beef into 4 portions. Add sliced onions to a hot skillet, place each portion of beef on top of the onions and smash into thin patties. Season generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
2. Sear the patties until browned and crispy edges form. Flip the patties and cook until the internal temperature reaches 160°F. Top each patty with a slice of American cheese and let it melt.
3. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Sauté minced garlic until fragrant.
4. Add heavy cream, garlic powder, smoked paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to the saucepan. Simmer gently.
5. Stir in freshly grated Parmesan into the sauce until smooth and creamy.
6. Butter the burger buns and toast them until golden brown.
7. Assemble the cheeseburgers by placing the patties with melted cheese on the toasted buns.
8. Pour a generous layer of warm garlic Parmesan sauce directly onto your serving plate.
9. Cut each cheeseburger in half and place both halves cut side down directly into the sauce, allowing the sauce to soak into every bite.
10. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately, optionally surrounding the burgers with crispy fries.
