Preparation

Step 1

1.Place herbs, garlic, pepper and butter in food processor and beat until light and fluffy.
2.Lay a 12-inch-square piece of plastic wrap or parchment paper on your work surface and mound the flavored butter in the center. Roll it up into a cylinder, twisting the ends to compact the butter.

3.In a large bowl, hand mix ground beef, cheese, salt, and pepper. Divide into 4 equal balls. Mash into hamburger shapes. Place 1 Tablespoon of Garlic-Herb Butter in the middle of the burger and seal up.
4.To serve: Grill or pan fry to prepare.
Freezing Instructions
