WISCONSIN BUTTER-BASTED BURGERS
It's no secret that Wisconsinites love their dairy-so much that they sometimes 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. -Becky Carver, North Royalton, Ohio -Becky Carver, North Royalton, Ohio

Steps:
- Preheat the broiler. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until translucent, 6 to 8 minutes. Add 1/3 cup water, cover and continue cooking until the onions are golden brown, about 15 more minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer the onions to a bowl and wipe out the skillet.
- Divide the meat into 6 loose balls, then gently flatten into thin patties. Heat the skillet over high heat. Add the patties to the hot skillet, smash them flat with a spatula and season with salt and pepper. Cook, flipping once, until well done, about 3 minutes per side.
- Meanwhile, toast the buns under the broiler. Put the patties on the bottom buns and top each with 1/4 cup sauteed onions. Smear 2 tablespoons butter on the cut side of each top bun, then put on top of the burgers. Slice in half and serve immediately.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the taste of your burgers.
- Grind your own beef. This will give you more control over the quality of the meat and the fat content.
- Don't overmix the meat. Overmixing will make the burgers tough.
- Season the meat liberally. Use a variety of spices to create a flavorful burger.
- Form the burgers into patties that are about 3/4 inch thick. This will help them cook evenly.
- Cook the burgers over medium heat. This will help them cook evenly without burning.
- Don't flip the burgers too often. Flipping them too often will make them dry.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the burgers are cooked to your desired doneness.
- Let the burgers rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help them retain their juices.
Conclusion:
Making better butter burgers at home is easy if you follow these tips. With a little practice, you'll be able to make burgers that are just as good as, or even better than, the ones you get at your favorite restaurant.
