03 - 1 teaspoon Italian herbs

→ Burgers

04 - 1 pound ground beef
05 - 8 teaspoons garlic powder
06 - Salt, to taste
07 - Black pepper, to taste

→ Creamy Garlic Burger Sauce

08 - 1/4 cup water
09 - 2 tablespoons garlic, minced
10 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
11 - 2 cups heavy cream
12 - 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
13 - Salt, to taste
14 - Black pepper, to taste
15 - 2 tablespoons cornstarch
16 - 1/4 cup water (for slurry)

→ For Assembling

17 - 4 slices provolone cheese
18 - 4 brioche hamburger buns

# Preparation Steps:

01 - In a small bowl, combine softened cream cheese, minced garlic, and Italian herbs. Blend thoroughly, then divide the mixture into four equal portions.
02 - In a large bowl, combine ground beef, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just incorporated. Divide the mixture into eight equal balls, then flatten into 1/4-inch thick patties.
03 - Place a portion of the cream cheese mixture onto the center of four patties. Top each with a remaining patty, sealing the edges firmly to enclose the filling. Gently press to form uniform burgers.
04 - Grill the stuffed burger patties over medium-high heat to desired doneness. When nearly finished, top each with a slice of provolone cheese, then cover to allow the cheese to melt.
05 - In a saucepan, bring 1/4 cup water to a boil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and garlic powder; simmer until water nearly evaporates, about 5 minutes. Add heavy cream, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. In a small bowl, whisk cornstarch with 1/4 cup water until smooth, then stir into the sauce. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
06 - Place a burger on the bottom half of each brioche bun. Spoon generous amounts of creamy garlic sauce over the burgers. Close with the top bun and serve immediately.

# Supplementary Details:

01 - For best results, ensure patties are tightly sealed to prevent cream cheese mixture from leaking during grilling.
02 - Use a thermometer to check the internal temperature of the burgers for food safety.
