Instructions
Creating Wisconsin Butter Burgers is a breeze when you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat.
2. Prepare the Beef: In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with 2 tablespoons of softened butter. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Form Patties: Divide the beef mixture into four equal portions and shape them into patties. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to help them cook evenly.
4. Grill the Patties: Place the patties on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side.
5. Add Cheese: Flip the burgers and place a slice of cheese on each patty. Cook for another 4-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the burgers are cooked to your liking.
6. Butter the Buns: While the patties are cooking, spread a thin layer of the remaining butter on the inside of each hamburger bun.
7. Toast the Buns: Place the buttered buns on the grill for about 1-2 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
8. Assemble the Burgers: Remove the patties from the grill and place each one on a toasted bun. Add lettuce, tomato, onion, and any other desired toppings.
9. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your Wisconsin Butter Burgers while they are hot and juicy!
