Ingredients
  1. 1 pound ground chuck beef
  2. 3 teaspoons butter, divided
  3. ¾ teaspoon garlic salt, divided
  4. ¾ teaspoon ground black pepper, divided
  5. 1 teaspoon olive oil
  6. 1 recipe Roasted Garlic Aïoli (recipe follows)
  7. 6 slider buns
  8. 6 leaves lettuce
  9. 6 slices tomato
  10. 6 slices cooked pancetta bacon
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°.
  2. Divide ground chuck into 6 equal portions. Place ½ teaspoon butter in center of each portion, and mold beef around butter pat, shaping into a small patty. (Handle beef only enough to shape patty. Overhandling beef will cause burger to be tough.) Season each patty with 1/8 teaspoon garlic salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper.
  3. In an ovenproof nonstick skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook patties until nicely browned, approximately 3 minutes per side. Place skillet with patties in oven for 5 minutes to finish cooking. (Patties should feel firm to the touch, and juices should run clear when patty is pressed.)
  4. Spread 1 teaspoon Roasted Garlic Aïoli on cut side of each bun. Layer lettuce, tomato, patty, and pancetta on bottom half of each bun, then top each with remaining half of bun. Secure with a decorative pick.

Ingredients
  1. 1 large head garlic
  2. 1 teaspoon olive oil
  3. ½ cup mayonnaise*
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°.
  2. Cut enough from top of garlic head (opposite of root end) to reveal cloves. Place head, cut side up, on a 6-x-6-inch piece of aluminum foil. Drizzle olive oil over garlic. Wrap garlic with foil, and seal tightly.
  3. Bake until garlic feels soft when squeezed, 45 to 60 minutes. Let garlic cool. Press garlic to remove pulp.
  4. In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise and garlic pulp, stirring well. Refrigerate until needed.
Notes
  1. *For testing purposes, we used Hellman’s mayonnaise.
