💡Tips
1. Don’t Overmix the Meat
When you mix the ground beef with seasonings, do it gently. Try not to squeeze or stir the meat too much. The more you mix, the tougher the burgers can become after cooking.
Just use your hands or a spoon to mix until everything looks even, then stop. You want the meat to stay loose and soft so the patties stay juicy. Think of it like this- mix enough to combine, not enough to mash.
2. Seal the Butter and Cheese Well
When you add the butter and cheese inside the patty, make sure they are fully covered by the beef. If you leave a small opening or thin spot, the butter can leak out while cooking.
Use your fingers to press and shape the meat around the filling so it’s completely sealed.
This helps keep the inside soft and full of melted flavor. A good seal also helps the burger cook evenly and stay juicy.
3. Let the Patties Rest Before Cooking
After shaping your burgers, let them rest for about 5 to 10 minutes before cooking. This gives the meat time to relax, and the seasonings have a chance to blend in.
It also helps the butter and cheese stay firm so they don’t melt out too quickly when you start cooking.

Great recipe! I cooked mine in the oven because I didn’t want to deal with splatter and they came out perfect.
