Contrary to popular belief, a Butter Burger doesn’t involve mixing butter into the meat. The magic lies in the bun – lightly toasted in butter for that extra flavor kick. Coupled with fresh, never-frozen beef seared to perfection, it’s a taste sensation you won’t forget.

4. Ingredients You’ll Need

  • 1 pound ground chuck
  • 4 hamburger buns
  • 1 tablespoon butter, softened
  • 4 slices American cheese
  • 4 slices onion
  • 8-12 dill pickle slices
  • 8 tomato slices
  • Salt and pepper to taste

5. Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions

  1. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Toast the buns face-down in the melted butter for about a minute. Set aside.
  3. Form four patties from the ground chuck.
  4. Place patties in the skillet and press down firmly with a spatula.
  5. For extra flavor-sealing, press each patty with a foil-wrapped soup can.
  6. Cook for about 2 minutes, then flip.
  7. Season with salt and pepper.
  8. For cheeseburgers, add a slice of cheese to each patty.
  9. Cook for another minute, then remove from heat.
  10. Assemble your burger with your choice of toppings and enjoy!

6. Pro Tips for the Perfect Butter Burger

  • The key is in the bun: Let that butter soak in for maximum flavor.
  • Smash it good: Use a heavy object (like our foil-wrapped can trick) to really seal in those juices.
  • Keep it fresh: Use high-quality, fresh ground beef for the best taste.

7. Serving Suggestions

Pair your homemade Butter Burger with classic sides like crispy fries, onion rings, or a fresh coleslaw. And why not go all out with a creamy milkshake on the side?
