It's no secret Wisconsinites love their dairy—in fact, they love it so much they top their burgers with a generous pat of butter. My recipe is a lot like the butter burgers you'll find in popular restaurants all over the state. The mushrooms and butter basting add great flavor to this burger. These were a hit with my family.

Ingredients

Optional Toppings

Mustard
Ketchup
Dill pickle slices
Lettuce leaves
Tomato slices

4 Hamburger buns, split
3 tbsp. Butter, divided
1/2 pound Fresh mushrooms
1/2 tsp. Pepper
1/2 tsp. Seasoned salt
1 pound Lean ground beef (90% lean)

Method

01

Sprinkle ground beef with seasoned salt and pepper. Pulse mushrooms in a food processor until finely chopped. Add to seasoned beef, mixing lightly but thoroughly. Shape into four 1/2-in.-thick patties.
02

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add burgers; cook 6-8 minutes on each side, basting with butter, until a thermometer reads 160℉. Remove from heat; keep warm. Add bun tops to skillet; toast until golden brown.
03

Transfer burgers to bun bottoms. Top each with 1 teaspoon butter. Replace bun tops. Serve with toppings.
