Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef (80/20 blend)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 burger buns
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • Optional: lettuce, tomato, and pickles for toppings

How to Make Savory Burger with Creamy Sauce

  1. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
  2. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and form them into burger patties. Make a slight indent in the center of each patty to help them cook evenly.
  3. Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F.
  4. While the burgers are cooking, prepare the creamy sauce by mixing the sour cream, mayonnaise, and Dijon mustard in a small bowl. Adjust seasoning if needed.
  5. Once the burgers are done, remove them from the heat and let them rest for a couple of minutes.
  6. Assemble your burger: spread a generous amount of the creamy sauce on the bottom half of each bun. Place the burger patty on top, drizzle with caramel sauce, and add any additional toppings you desire.
  7. Top with the other half of the bun, serve, and enjoy your savory burger with creamy sauce and caramel drizzle!

Tips for the Best Results

  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure your burgers are cooked to a safe internal temperature.
  • Let the patties rest after cooking to retain their juices.
  • Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese melted on top for added flavor.

Easy Variations

  • Swap out ground beef for ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option.
  • Add sautéed onions or mushrooms for extra depth of flavor.
  • Use a spicy aioli instead of the creamy sauce for a kick.

What to Serve With It

  • Crispy sweet potato fries
  • A fresh garden salad with a tangy vinaigrette
  • Coleslaw for a crunchy side
  • Grilled corn on the cob
  • Potato wedges seasoned with herbs

Storage and Reheating

Leftover burger patties can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through. The creamy sauce can also be stored separately for up to a week.
