Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patty Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, minced garlic, chopped onion, grated Parmesan cheese, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties, making sure they are slightly larger than the size of the buns.

  3. 3

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Burger

    Toast the hamburger buns lightly. Spread a layer of white sauce on the bottom half of each bun. Place a cooked patty on top, followed by a generous portion of sauerkraut. Drizzle with honey mustard and then top with the other half of the bun.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the burgers warm with your choice of sides.
