Whether you’re looking for a new burger for your upcoming cookout,  Father’s Day, Fourth of July, or just a gourmet meal, this roasted garlic cambozola burger recipe has your covered!  Serve it with a nice heirloom tomato salad and some rosemary fries for the ultimate combination of flavors!

Skills & Techniques

Since there are so few ingredients in this roasted garlic burger recipe, a mastery of the techniques is important for execution.  I recommend reading these before beginning:

  • Perfectly Roasted Garlic Every Time.  To make the sumptuous roasted garlic aioli that goes on this burger, you need to roast two heads of garlic.  Find out how to get it perfectly cooked so it smashes easily and provides excellent flavor.
  • Two Minute Homemade Mayonnaise.  Everything tastes better homemade, so make the delicious roasted garlic aioli with homemade mayonnaise to knock it out of the park.
  • How To Buy & Store Ground Beef.   To for a superb burger, you need stellar ingredients.  Find out what kind of ground beef will work best for this hamburger recipe and how to keep it fresh.
  • How To Grill.  Get the science behind the grilling method to make sure you get the exact right flavor on your burgers and cook it to your favorite doneness.
  • Understanding USDA Food Labels.  Not sure what kind of ground beef to buy?  Get everything you need to know about the USDA labels to buy the right quality of ground beef for you.

Storage and Leftovers

If you have any of this roasted garlic burger recipe leftover, you can store them in a single layer in a shallow, airtight dish.  They will stay fresh in the refrigerator like this for up to five days, but the longer they sit the drier they will become.  Make sure to keep the patties separate from the buns and toppings for best storage results.  The roasted garlic aioli will stay fresh in the refrigerator for three days in an airtight container.

If you decide to reheat your burger as is, I recommend:

  • Place a rack in the top third of your oven and preheat your oven’s broiler to high.
  • Put the burgers in a single layer on a baking rack inside of a sheet pan lined with aluminum foil.  The foil helps with easy cleanup.
  • Place the burgers in the oven near the broiler and cook for 2-3 minutes.  Remove the sheet pan, flip the burgers, return them to the oven and cook for another 2 minutes.
  • Remove the burgers from the broiler, place on your buns with fresh toppings and serve.

NOTE: I recommend using the broiler because, like grilling, the quick cooking of the outside help keep the inside juicy. Just a warning, consuming raw or undercooked meat may have consequences.  The USDA recommended internal temperature for ground beef is 160°F for killing of any potentially harmful bacteria.  If you cooked your burgers to less than this, your burgers run a risk of bacterial growth during refrigeration.  If this concerns you, you can always crumble your leftovers and turn them into tacos, lasagna, or spaghetti meat.  Reheating them this way will help ensure they are completely cooked through.

Roasted Garlic Burger With Cambozola

Cambozola is the ultimate cheese for a gourmet cheeseburger recipe because it’s a cross between brie and bleu.  It’s delightfully creamy and soft (and melts beautifully) but also has a sharp tang and distinct flavor. It’s amazing!  If you haven’t purchased any before, you can usually find it in wedges in the specialty cheese case of your local grocery.  (Look in the bleu cheese section.)


Get your free printable grocery list for this Roasted Garlic Burger Recipe with Cambozola HERE.


This grocery list has everything that you’ll need to make this roasted garlic burger recipe.  To make grocery shopping simple, each ingredient is listed in easy-to-find grocery store amounts.  If there is no amount specified, that means that you can buy the smallest (or largest) container available and still have plenty left over.

Ingredients

Roasted Garlic Aioli

  • 2 heads roasted garlic,, cloves removed
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • salt and pepper,, to taste

Burgers

  • 2 large yellow onions,, sliced thinly
  • 2 teaspoons oil
  • 1 1/3 pounds 80/20 ground beef
  • 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
  • 4 pub-style hamburger buns
  • lettuce or arigula, (optional)
  • salt and pepper,, to taste
  • 8 ounces cambozola cheese,, cut into 1/4" thick slices

Instructions

Roasted Garlic Aioli

  • In a bowl, use the back of a spoon or a fork to smash the roasted garlic cloves into a paste (this works best if they are still hot or room temperature).  Stir in the mayonnaise, season with salt and pepper and set aside.

Burgers

  • Preheat the grill.
  • In a wide sauté pan, place the sliced onions and oil over medium-low heat.  Stirring regularly, cook for 30 minutes or until the onions are deeply caramelized.  Set aside. 
  • While the onions caramelize, gently work the Worcestershire sauce into the ground beef and form the beef into four 1/3 pound patties that are slightly wider than the buns you purchased.  Generously sprinkle both sides of the patties with salt and pepper and set aside.
  • Grill your burgers, flipping at least once, until the burger reaches your desired level of doneness, or an internal temperature 160°F.  Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes.
  • While the burgers rest, toast the buns on the grill slightly then slather both halves with the roasted garlic aioli.  Place the cambozola slices on the bottom bun and top with the burger, optional lettuce or arugula, caramelized onions and the top bun.  Serve.

Notes

When adding the Worcestershire sauce, be careful not to overwork the burgers.  If you do, they will become tough when cooked.
Make sure to put the cheese on the bun, not on the burger.  Because the cambozola is so soft, it will melt right off of the burger if placed on top.

  • #ad Doesn't this beautiful maple dijon salmon make you want to dive right in? That's because it was cooked to a perfectly moist and flaky temperature using the integrated sous vide function of the new Souspreme Multi Pot from @fisslerusa. They're the only brand I trust when it comes to pressure cookers, so I knew that this all-around cooking tool had to be part of my kitchen, and that sous vide function feeds my foodie soul (literally!). Head over to the blog to find out how to win one for yourself. That way you can start making this recipe ASAP. It will be your new favorite tool, trust me! (Pssstt...Christmas is right around the corner and it makes a great gift!) . #souspreme https://www.foodabovegold.com/maple-dijon-sous-vide-salmon/ #kitchengadgets #sousvide #sousvidecooking #salmondinner #seafoodie #fissler #freshfish #dinnerisserved #foodielife
  • #ad  I am particularly excited to share this recipe with you guys because it rolls up (haha, get it 🤓) everything about my culinary background. 🔪 This stuffed pork tenderloin has it all; my favorite sweet prunes from @caprunes , salty pancetta, creamy goat cheese, and crunchy hazelnuts.  It gets seared to golden-brown perfection on the stove top, then finished in the oven for a tender and moist entree that is literally bursting with flavor.  All of this gets rounded out with a simple white wine pan sauce to complete the dish. 🍁 If you haven't cooked with prunes before, this recipe is a great introduction.  They pair well with both sweet and savory dishes and bring a depth of flavor to this recipe that makes it phenomenal. 🍽️ The recipe is up now on the blog and I am so excited for you to try it. https://www.foodabovegold.com/stuffed-pork-tenderloin-with-california-prunes/
  • I know that chestnuts are one of those foods that you feel like you have to wait for the holiday season to eat. However, the department stores have decided the holidays are here, so I have too. Plus, if they're already in stores, why wait to eat them? If you've been nervous to try making your own roasted chestnuts, it's actually very easy. The hardest part is removing the shells, and I give you all the best tips and tricks to make it as easy as possible. Get my recipe for oven roasted chestnuts on the blog now and feel autumn fully descend on your home. https://www.foodabovegold.com/how-to-roast-chestnuts/
  • Raise your hand if you've started eating fall foods yet? 🙋 Once the clouds and the rain came in, I was all ready to indulge in the cozy and comforting tastes of autumn. 🍁 That's part of why I love the delicious fall flavors from @WholeFoods. They give me a simple way to indulge in those flavors for every meal.  They seriously have you covered from breakfast to dinner, with snacks, drinks and treats in there too! I'm especially a fan of the pumpkin cardamom sauce.  The cardamom gives it a unique flavor unlike other pumpkin sauces out there.  It doesn't need to be loaded with cheese and shines as it is. Plus, the zucchette pasta is adorable, it looks like little pumpkins. Make sure to pop into your local #WholeFoodsMarket for these limited-time offerings.  They're in stock now and ready to be eaten while curled up in a blanket and a good book. (Or at least that's how I eat them...). Can't make it to a store? Check out the link in my bio, if you are an Amazon Prime member you can have it delivered right to your door (available in select zip codes)! Talk about a time saver!  Look in my stories for a sneak peek into everything in the box. 🎁 Which fall flavor you are most excited about? Pumpkin spice? Caramel apple? Maple? Pear? Tell me in the comments so I can eat it all! 🍐🤤 #Sponsored #WFMFallFlavors #MakesMeWhole
  • #ad Only a few minutes into the game and the Seahawks have already scored! Woohoo! Football season is back and I am so happy because that means the return of tailgating foods. I don't know about you, but when I think of tailgating I usually only think about savory foods. But the desserts are my favorite part. That's why I like to pack along FatBoy super thick ice cream sandwiches and use fun seasonal sprinkles to showcase my favorite team. (Blue and green today!). You can use all kinds of sprinkles to make it fun and even host a "best decorated" contest between your friends. (Winner gets a whole box of @fatboyicecream to themselves?) . It's a such fun way to celebrate tailgating and football season! What teams are you rooting for today? How would you show off your best decorated ice cream sandwich? I want to know! #fatboyicecream #freezepops #fatboycones #fatboytailgating #fatboyfootball
