INGREDIENTS

  • 2 lbs lean ground beef
  • 2/3 cup flat leaf parsley , finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves , grated
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 1 1/2 cups provolone cheese , shredded
  • salt and pepper

DIRECTIONS

  1. Combine the ground beef, parsley and garlic and form into 6 patties, pressing your thumb into the center of each burger to prevent it from bulging when cooking.
  2. In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat and cook the burgers for 5 minutes on each side.
  3. While the burgers cook, in a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat, whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Whisk in the milk and cook until thickened, 3 to 4 minutes.
  4. Add the provolone and, using a wooden spoon, stir in a figure-eight motion until combined; season with salt and pepper.
  5. Serve each burger with a small bowl of cheese sauce for dipping.
