Butter Burgers

Do you ever watch Guy Fieri of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives? I saw hisButter Burgers and just had to try it! Oh, My Word! These are some of the tastiest burgers I have ever tried. The only thing I did different was not serve it up on a bun because, well, you know… Carbs are bad on my Keto journey! Good thing I am able to make this work for me! Funny thing is… I don’t even miss the bun. Give this butter burgers recipe a try.

I started off making my own butter first. I used four sticks of “real” butter and seasoned it with the most amazing flavors! I did this a day in advance before making my butter burgers. I’m not sure if the seasonings set in or not but it turned out fantastic!

  1. First, make the butter compound ahead of time. Mix all the prepared butter compound ingredients together in a bowl until it is well combined.
  2. Spoon the softened mixture in a log shape in a long sheet of plastic wrap.
  3. Close the butter compound up by rolling the ends together and twisting the edges to create a butter log.
  4. Refrigerate for a few hours until it hardens. I left mine overnight.
  5. Next, you will need to create the Roasted Garlic Aioli. YUM!

  10. I love to use a cast iron skillet to cook these burgers up because the beef tastes absolutely amazing (yes, there is a difference). Place another large slice of seasoned compound butter on the top of each burger while it’s cooking.
  11. Once the burgers are done, add a slice of your favorite cheese on top. Add a dollop of the Roasted Garlic Aioli on top and serve it warm!
