How to Make Best Burgers Ever
- Prepare the Spicy Butter: In a medium bowl, combine 6 ounces (170g) of softened butter, 1 teaspoon of Tabasco sauce, and 1 teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
- Chill the Butter: Roll the spicy butter mixture into a log shape using plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until firm.
- Prepare the Burger Mixture: In a large bowl, combine your ground beef (see ingredients for amount), salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings. Mix gently but thoroughly, being careful not to overwork the meat.
- Assemble the Burgers: Remove the chilled spicy butter from the refrigerator and discard the plastic wrap. Cut the butter log into 6 equal discs.
- Create the Patties: Divide the ground beef mixture into six equal portions (approximately 6 ounces or 170g each). Shape each portion into a ball, then flatten slightly. Place a spicy butter disc in the center of each beef ball.
- Form the Patties: Gently shape the beef balls around the butter discs, ensuring the butter is completely enclosed. Flatten each patty to a uniform thickness of no more than 1 inch (2.5 cm).
- Grill the Burgers: Grill the patties over medium-high heat for approximately 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked to your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure they reach your desired internal temperature (160°F or 71°C for medium-well).
- Serve: Serve the juicy burgers on toasted buns with your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
