Grilled French Onion Butter Burgers #CookoutWeek

I am bringing all the great flavors that you love in French Onion Soup and putting them onto a plate.  These French Onion Burgers are the best burgers I have ever made...…

It is Day 4 of Cookout Week and I am so very proud to bring you this recipe...…..

This recipe was inspired by one of our sponsors, Chef Shamy butters.  I came late to this party so I didn't receive the same allotment of sponsor products as some of the others.  I didn't expect to get any products at all but then Chef Shamy generously sent me some samples.

They offered several different choices of butter from which I could choose.  I chose the French Onion Butter.  They also sent me a sample of their Garlic Butter.  All opinions, thoughts and contents of this blog are exclusively mine.

Chef Shamy is one of numerous sponsors that are hosting a giveaway for this event.  You can find out all about them and enter to win an awesome prize package at my Welcome Post.

Here are a few tidbits about Chef Shamy butter:

• Their slogan is "Make the World a Butter Place" ®
• The butter contains no oils.  It is keto friendly
• Good for up to 2 years frozen, 1 year unopened and refrigerated, 6 months refrigerated after opening and several weeks at room temperature.

I'm from Michigan.  Here in the Midwest we have a burger chain called Culver's.  Their specialty is a butter burger. When I received this butter, I immediately though "Butter Burger".

The only problem is,  I have never been to a Culver's and had no idea what a butter burger might be.  A google search said that it was a seared burger served on a buttered bun.  Well, forgive me Culvers, but I don't think simply putting butter on a bun qualifies for the name Butter Burger.  So I decided to create my own using the French Onion Butter from Chef Shamy.

I put a dollop of that butter right in the middle of my patty and then I wrapped the burger around it and flattened it again.

Then I decided that since I was using French Onion butter I was going to use all the flavors that you find in a bowl of ooey, gooey, baked French Onion soup.

So I used some of that butter to caramelize a sweet Vidalia onion.

And I used more of that butter to spread onto French bread.  I put that bread on the griddle and let it toast, turning it into a great big crouton.

And it is not French Onion soup without the melted cheese, so I was very generous with the Provolone, allowing it to melt all over that butter filled burger.

I placed that burger onto the toasted bread and smothered it with the caramelized onions.  Then, just for good measure, I added another dollop of the butter on top.  It melted French Onion goodness all over it.

And that, in my humble opinion, is what deserves to be called a "Butter Burger"!  This is definitely not a low calorie, diet friendly burger but it is the best burger I have ever created in my 50 years of making and cooking burgers.  

If I ever owned a restaurant, this burger would be on the menu for sure and I'll bet it would be a top seller.
