Monster Burger

- approximately 20 basil leaves (1 container), chopped see below for instructions
- 10 tablespoons cilantro finely chopped
- 20 roasted garlic cloves see below for instructions
- 4 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 slices cheddar cheese
- tomato, sliced (two slices per burger)
- 4 ciabatta rolls
For the Spicy Mayo:

- 8 roasted garlic cloves, mashed
- 4 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 teaspoons caraway seeds
- 2 teaspoons chili sauce
For the Hash Brown Patty:
- frozen shredded hash browns
- oil
For the Mango Topping:
- 1 large mango, chopped
- 1 large avocado, chopped
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
Instructions
For the Hamburger Patties:
- In a large bowl, mash the roasted garlic to a pulp, add the chopped basil and chopped cilantro.
- Mix in the smoked paprika and salt.
- Add the ground beef and lightly mix.
- Form into 4 large patties.
- Grill patties; add the cheddar cheese on top of the patties during the last 2 minutes.
For the Spicy Mayo:
- Mash the garlic, then mix in the rest of the ingredients.
- Place in the refrigerator until you are ready to assemble the burger.
For the Hash Brown Patty:
- In a large skillet heat oil; make 4 piles of hash browns in hot oil to form a patty the size of the hamburger patty.
- Cook until crispy; remove and place on a paper towel to remove excess oil.
NOTE: I also made this burger using tater tots and didn't taste a difference.
For the Mango Topping:
- Mix all three ingredients together making sure they don't get mushy. Place in refrigerator until ready to assemble the burger.
To Assemble Each Burger:
- Start with the bottom of the ciabatta roll, and add spicy mayo, burger patty with cheese, tomatoes, hash-browned patty (or tater tots), mango topping, and spicy mayo on the top of ciabatta roll.
CHOPPING BASIL: The easiest way to chop basil is to lay all the leaves on top on themselves, roll like a cigar, then chop.
ROASTING GARLIC: Cut the top off of the garlic bulb, line a baking pan with foil, drizzle oil over garlic bulb wait and let it sink in between the cloves and repeat. Bake at 375° for 45 to 60 minutes or until the garlic bulb is brown and soft throughout. Allow to cool long enough so you can touch it without burning yourself. Pull or squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins.

These look A-Maz-ING!! I must add them to my summer rotation. Can’t wait to try them!
Oh my, this burger looks amazing! Definitely deserving of a Ciabatta roll. I love the fresh herbs so very much, and especially the smoked paprika (currently my favourite spice, seriously, I’ve been adding it to almost everything)!
