• Ingredients: 8
• Serves: 6

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.
