The key to a perfect Wisconsin Butter Burger is using quality ingredients and not overworking the meat. The signature element is the melted butter that's spooned over the patty just before serving, creating an incredibly rich and flavorful burger experience. Follow these steps for burger perfection!
For an authentic Wisconsin experience, serve these butter burgers with a side of crispy french fries and a cold glass of milk or a local craft beer. You can also customize your burger with additional toppings like bacon, mushrooms, or a fried egg, but remember that the star of this burger is the butter-enhanced beef flavor.
