Preparation Steps

• In a bowl, gently mix the ground beef with salt and pepper. Be careful not to overmix.
• Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal portions and form them into patties, slightly larger than your burger buns. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up too much.
• In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, and chopped parsley. Mix well until everything is incorporated.
• Heat a grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer for your desired doneness.
• During the last minute of cooking, top each patty with a slice of cheese and let it melt.
• While the burgers are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns if desired.
• Spread a generous amount of the garlic-parsley butter mixture onto the top bun of each burger.
• Assemble the burgers by placing a cheese-topped patty on the bottom bun, then adding lettuce, tomato, and onion if using. Place the buttered top bun on top.
• Serve immediately and enjoy your Wisconsin Butter Burgers!
