My Most Coveted Secret: Herb-Garlic Butter Hamburgers on a Grill,This recipe is, quite honestly, my most coveted of all! Once you taste these wonderful grilled burgers, all other burgers will take a back seat to these for the rest of your life! I made these for my son about a year ago, and he insists on nothing else from the grill. Just wait and see…,These are delicious. I made them with ground turkey and they were so moist and flavorful. I also love Blue Cheese Burgers made the same way. If you are a blue cheese lover try it!,For me & my bf, we already add some minced garlic from the jar to our burgers and since we have been doing that the burgers have taken on a sensational taste. Just enough to taste but not too overpowering, although personally I love garlic. As for the butter mixture after reading other reviews, personally I omit those herbs I know we don’t like. I do not like the taste of oregano except in dishes where the flavor is very mild and can’t really taste it. It is an overpowering herb. The parsley, basil are hits for sure for us. I think mixing the herbs your family likes and the garlic butter is the magic in these burgers, (just as it is in my copycat Benihana Chicken Fried Rice recipe), makes the flavor wonderful. I also would make the butter roll a little flatter so it spreads to almost the edges inside the meat. A very thin slice of butter mixture is more than enough to give this burger a wonderful flavor. Think about a steak finished off with herbed butter or even just butter. The flavor enhances the steak in my opinion. So this recipe with a few tweaks is very good and tasty. I also liked what another reader suggested is transforming it by cooking it, adding mushrooms and either serve as a burger on bun or what about as is or a pan gravy and served with mashed potatoes or pasta on the side. So many recipes come to mind just from your recipe. Thank you!
