There's nothing better than the rich and savory flavor of a Butter Burger. A juicy, grilled patty combined with a pat of butter for a truly indulgent experience.
Mix some of the softened butter into the ground beef.
Divide the beef mixture into 4 even patties. Season both sides with salt and black pepper. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Melt some of the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté for 5–7 minutes, until tender. Reduce the heat to low and cook for an additional 3–4 minutes, until lightly browned.
Transfer the sautéed onions to a separate plate.
Place the burger patties in the skillet and cook for 4–6 minutes without moving them.
Flip the patties and cook for another 4–6 minutes, until cooked through.
Turn off the heat and immediately top each patty with some of the remaining butter, ¼ of the sautéed onions, and a slice of cheese. Let the residual heat melt the butter and cheese.
Place each burger on a toasted hamburger bun.
Serve immediately while warm.

Notes
These burgers are best served immediately while warm; however, any leftovers will last for up to 5 days as long as they are refrigerated in an airtight container. I prefer to store the onion, patties and buns separately and then assemble them when ready to serve.
