I’ve got one more grilling recipe for you before Memorial Day. If you are sticking with burgers you may just want to change it up a bit with this recipe. I mean how can you go wrong with garlic butter. I saw this original recipe for garlic butter burgers on Good Things Utah. Angel Shannon shared the recipe. Now she is all about using a stick of butter in her cooking. I found 1 stick of butter to be too much, so I altered the recipe to use less butter .
With burgers you need some fat to make them nice and juice. However, I usually always buy extra lean ground beef to keep in my freezer. I stock up when it’s on sale. So extra lean ground beef isn’t the best to use if you want a nice juicy burger. However, with this recipe you are adding some fat to your beef by using butter. The fun thing about this recipe is you freezer the butter and then break it into pieces and mix it in with the meat. Yum. And the butter is mixed with garlic. Yum, YUM! Delicious.
Here is what you need to make the

Freezing the butter first and then cutting it into the meat? That’s awesome. I can just picture the butter melting and oozing out of the burger as it cooks. Mmmm.
