1
Prepare the Roasted Garlic Aioli
In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, roasted garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth and set aside.
2
Cook the Burger Patties
Form the ground beef into two equal patties. Season with salt and pepper. Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat and cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness.
3
Melt the Cheese
In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of American cheese on each patty to melt.
4
Assemble the Burger
Toast the burger buns if desired. Spread a generous amount of roasted garlic aioli on the bottom bun, add the arugula, place the cheese-topped burger patty, then layer with roasted tomato slices and avocado. Top with the other half of the bun.

Serve
Serve immediately and enjoy your California Burger!
