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.

You can find Chef Shamy butters on Amazon and they are offering a 10% discount if you use the code 10BUTTER10.

    1. Thanks Paula. There hasn't been much to report. We had a meeting with the eldest one and her therapist yesterday and we meet again on Sunday. Hoping to have her move in with us in the next week or so. The younger sibling is going to take a bit longer but should be with us by the next school year.
