Back in the day, burgers were fried in butter, and the buns were brushed with butter as well. You think that the pairing was meant to be? Well it is, just try this burger and see.

I attended the Cottage Life show on March 26^th and watched Ted Reader’s demo learning of this best burger with butter! He was quite the man to watch and by the end the whole crowd was drooling.

METHOD

1. Preheat your grill to medium-high
2. In a large bowl mix together your meat, onion, garlic, Jack, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, butter and spices. For best results have the meat cold but not frozen. Also you want to keep chunks of butter in there, don’t just mash them into oblivion. You want to get your fingers in there to do the mixing, and they should be numb when you’re done. That’s when you know the meat is at the right temperature.
3. Form your meat into 12, 4 oz. patties as uniform in size as possible. The easiest way to get the right size is to use an ice cream scoop. Then toss those patties down and flatten them. A flatter burger will cook more evenly and faster than a ball like burger.
4. Grill burgers 4-5 minutes per side for medium-well. When they’re nearly ready you want to put on your favorite barbecue sauce, then toss a little hunk of butter on top and let it melt into the burger.
5. Brush buns with melted butter and grill cut side down until crisp and golden brown.
6. Serve with your favorite garnishes, or get adventurous, try something different like hot and spicy barbecue sauce and ranch dressing for your toppings.

Happy Grilling
